To be sure you get alerts the way you prefer, review and update your VUMC emergency information in Workday

To ensure that emergency alert messages are getting to you the way you prefer, log into the Workday system and review your contact preferences for emergency notifications from Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

The Everbridge/AlertVU system at VUMC is how employees are notified in case of an emergency on campus or in our facilities. Workday allows employees to opt into the system and determine how they want to be notified in case of an emergency. It is always important to keep this information up to date.

Please follow the steps in this Quick Reference Guide to complete the review and update process.

Please note: selecting “Telephone” in these preferences will include both their work and home telephones. If employees would like to receive VUMC emergency text messages to their mobile device, they must have a work or personal phone labeled as “Mobile” in the contact information within their Workday profile. More guidance on updating contact information is available in this Quick Reference Guide.
