ŷڱƵ Boulder faculty and staff no longer need to duplicate their mobile device information under a special field in their employee profile to receive text messages in the event of an emergency on campus. Instead, any cell phone number under the “Cellular” and“Cellular 2” fields in an employee's record will automatically be included when ŷڱƵ Boulder Alerts are sent to the campus. However, employees can turn this function off to opt out of receiving ŷڱƵ BoulderAlerts, if they choose.
At this time, it's important to verify that your information is correct in the system, checking that your cell number(s) areup to date, if applicable. Ifin the past, you labeledyour cell phone number something else in the system, like “Home” or “Work,”your number will not be included inŷڱƵ Boulder Alerts.
