Happy Fourth of July, fellow Miamians! We hope you had a restful holiday and spent the time celebrating with family and friends (in the air conditioning!).

RedHawk Alerts, powered by Rave, now live for all Miami students, faculty, and staff

After last week’s testing, we are now live with RedHawk Alerts, powered by Rave! There is no break in service with our previous alerting platform.

As a reminder: Messages may be used for situations that pose an immediate danger or the closing of an entire campus. Messages about Safety Bulletins generally will not be sent unless it is decided there is an imminent threat of danger.

For more information about our emergency notification systems, visit the website.
