All employees and students of Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC) receive an @siu.edu e-mail without charge. SIUC Alerts are sent by e-mail to all employees with an @siu.edu address and to all individuals who register for the wireless emergency notification system (WENS).

SIUC Alerts are messages about an emergency. The message may alert you to an emergency situation, ask you to take action, or both. Some weather warnings including flash flood, severe thunderstorm, winter storm, and tornado warnings will also be sent as an SIUC Alert. The messages are short (only 160 characters long). For more detailed information, you may need to go to another source of University emergency information.

Please note that no communication distribution method, including e-mail, is infallible. For that reason, SIUC uses redundant systems of emergency communication, including phone, web, telephone, radio, and person-to person, to distribute news and instructions during an emergency. Before an emergency arrives, please make yourself aware of all of the distribution methods by visiting our Emergency Communications website at www.siuc.edu/emergency.
