Review and update AlertVU information to assure delivery to your preferred mobile phone or personal email

AlertVU is used at Vanderbilt University Medical Center to alert all students, faculty and staff in the event of an emergency that poses an imminent threat or danger to the Vanderbilt community.  AlertVU notifications are always delivered to the user’s Vanderbilt email address, and users may also elect to receive notifications via mobile phone (voice or text), landline or a personal email address.

How to update your contact information

VUMC Employee AlertVU contact information will be maintained in Workday. Each employee should review their contact information in Workday to assure they continue to receive notifications at their desired personal points of contact.

Instructions are also available here.

How can my parent, friend, or campus visitor receive AlertVU?

Anyone not affiliated with Vanderbilt (students, faculty, or staff) who wants to receive AlertVU notifications can do so by creating a profile through the AlertVU – Community Portal at https://vu.edu/alert-portal.
