EAGLE ALERT POST-TEST
UNT’s Eagle Alert system sent a test message to students, faculty, staff and UNT System staff on Friday, Jan. 26. Because the Eagle Alert system is intended to communicate vital, urgent information in potentially life-threatening situations, the university maintains strict criteria for initiating an alert to the community.
If you are on or near campus and receive an Eagle Alert, it is crucial that you pay attention to it. Learn about Eagle Alert and check that your contact information is current at my.unt.edu. We suggest saving Eagle Alert as a contact in your phone, so you'll know the source of the call (940-369-8097) or text message (89361).
