Make sure your emergency alert notifications are up-to-date

If the recent disasters that have impacted our state have taught us anything, it’s that being prepared can make a big difference. This is a good time to make sure your emergency alert notifications are turned on for both your cell phone and email

Fox Alert: The Fox Alert system broadcasts messages to the email addresses and mobile phone numbers that students, faculty and staff have provided. It is important that the information is accurate and up to date. Students, faculty and staff can change or update their contact information by logging into the portal at my.georgefox.edu and following the instructions.

ShakeAlert (Earthquake Early Warning): In addition to Fox Alert, ShakeAlert launched earlier this month in Oregon after years of development. Oregon ShakeAlert technology can give you precious seconds, or even more than a full minute of notice, before the shaking of an ongoing earthquake reaches you. To learn more, click here.
