Alertus Desktop Alert is Launching at McGill!
In line with the recommendations of the Jutras Report, we’re working hard to improve every aspect of our emergency communications planning.
To help with this, on January 31 we’ll be launching new software called AlertUs. If an urgent situation arises, we’ll be able to send a pop-up announcement to your computer. Once you’ve seen it, you’ll be able to close the window and continue using your computer normally.
McGill is home to some 45,000 students, faculty and staff, and in an emergency we need a wide range of communications tools to reach as many people as possible. That’s why we’re adding AlertUs to our emergency Web announcement and text messaging systems. While no system is perfect, AlertUs will help us make McGill a safer place.
