UNC announces updates to alert Carolina Emergency Notification System

Alert Carolina is UNC’s primary form of communication in situations involving an immediate threat to campus health and safety. But recently, the university announced it will be updating the emergency notification system to improve communication to the community. The updates follow CNA Corporation’s after-action report on a fatal shooting that took place on campus last August. Feedback from the campus community is also being used to inform the changes. It was clear from feedback that students, faculty, and staff wanted clearer messages from the university in emergency situations, said UNC’s director of emergency management and planning Darrell Jeter.
