The University of Montana has developed an Emergency Notification System to communicate effectively with students and employees in a crisis situation. The new system will be tested the week of 12 May 2008 to ensure that various electronic communication channels perform as expected. Messages will be sent to all “umontana.edu” email addresses, and via text message to cell phone owners who have opted in to the service through CyberBear. The message received will clearly state that this is only a test. Users will receive follow-up communication to verify that the test emergency notification was received. Thank you for your cooperation in this planning process and with these security measures.
