In the event of an emergency event or campus closing, the university uses multiple, redundant methods to communicate with our students including:

The TechAlert! System:• Voicemail, email and text

• www.today.ttu.edu

• www.ttu.edu/emergency

Updates to our Social Media sites:• Twitter.com/TexasTech

Emergency Communications 101

• TechAlert• Students are automatically enrolled with their primary phone number and eRaider

email address upon registration (this could be yours!)

• Students should sign in to the system as soon as possible to update their records using their eRaider user ID and password

• Up to four phone numbers can be entered, with TTY/TDD for hearing impaired and Text Messaging options

• TechAlert is a mass notification system, it is not an “In Case of Emergency” contact record for issues regarding individual students.
