  • There is no charge for service except whatever your mobile carrier charges for the incoming call or text message.

About the Emergency Alert System

The University of Missouri has contracted with Rave Mobile Safety to provide emergency notifications to current employees and students. These emergency notifications supplement other sources of emergency information such as campus mass email, radio, television, or Emergency Alert System radio. You should not rely solely on these emergency notifications but instead should consult other sources of information regarding emergencies as well.

The university does not guarantee that any particular message or type of message will be sent or that you will receive every message, nor does receipt of any message guarantee your safety. The university is not responsible for lost or misdirected notifications, equipment or software malfunction, or notifications that fail to be transmitted or received due to transmission problems, human error, or any other cause.

If you opt in, you are responsible for providing and maintaining up-to-date personal contact data in myHR and/or your campus student information system. Failure to provide and maintain current contact data may mean that you will not receive emergency notifications. Even if you opt out, the university reserves the right to contact you at university-provided email addresses and phone numbers.

You should also be aware that text messaging may incur a per-message carrier charge. You may avoid a charge by not providing a text number via myHR and/or the appropriate student information system.
