We are in the process of implementing a new "Emergency Broadcast" feature in our protocols for issuing campus alerts during emergency situations. This new option allows invitation of all campus constituents to subscribe to SMS text and voice messaging on a mobile phone, or voice announcements to a land line telephone.

The name of the service is "JYNGLE", a service of Brevient Technologies. Please click on the link below to subscribe to the DePauw University Emergency Notification group. The form is very easy to complete and your information will be kept confidential. Telephone numbers will not be shared. Messages from this "notification group" will only occur during an actual emergency, (excepting a "test" of the system that will occur after September 1, 2007 and be announced in advance).

Please note, you do NOT need a "password" to join the group.

You can learn more about "jyngle" and their efforts in emergency notification on campuses at the following link. http://www.jyngle.com/

This service is optional however we strongly encourage your participation to be fully informed and prepared. We will continue to utilize e-mail blasts, alerts to campus media, network bulletins, telephone trees and portable public address systems as needed.

Please contact the Public Safety Office (x4261) with any questions.

Sincerely,

Doug Cox
Director of Public Safety
