NDAlert

NDAlert is the University of Notre Dame's emergency notification system. NDAlert improves the University’s ability to effectively communicate with campus using phone, e-mail, text messaging and public announcements sent to indoor and outdoor speakers on campus. The NDAlert system can push out thousands of messages within minutes to help ensure the safety of everyone at Notre Dame during an emergency. 

Emergency Situations

NDAlerts will only be sent in the event of a campus-wide emergency and for routine testing. The University conducts full tests of all the emergency alert systems at least once each semester,  and cleary defines the alert as a test, usually by stating "THIS IS A TEST OF THE NDALERT SYSTEM"

Examples of emeregncy situations that may warrant an NDAlert include:

  • Active violence / active attacker
  • A tornado warning for St. Joseph County, Indiana
  • A severe thunderstorm with wind greater than 75 miles per hour
  • A major leak or spill of hazardous material(s)
