About BrownAlert

Brown University has implemented an emergency campus alert system that can contact thousands of individuals within minutes if there is an urgent situation or crisis. 

During critical events, Brown University will use the BrownAlert System to deliver advisories and instructions to students, faculty, staff and others via cell phones, land lines, email and other communication devices.

All student, faculty and staff Brown email addresses have been loaded on the system, as have phone numbers for all Brown-owned phones.

Brown students, faculty and staff can use their personal cell phone number to enable Brown to reach them in the event of an emergency.  Personal cell phone numbers will only be used by authorized personnel for emergencies or official business.
