A lightning bolt seen from MSU’s Chadwick Lake during a 2018 storm punctuates the campus skyline. With recent severe weather warnings, MSU officials remind students and other members of the Bulldog community to update Maroon Alert contact information by verifying that their cellular numbers are correct in the university’s Banner system. Maroon Alert is MSU’s emergency notification system, which sends important messages to students, faculty and staff on existing or imminent threats, such as inclement weather. Individuals may download the new Maroon Alert app—Everbridge—from their app store. Instructions are available at https://www.emergency.msstate.edu/app/. Frequently asked questions also are available at https://www.emergency.msstate.edu/faqs/. For more information about MSU’s Maroon Alert system, visit https://www.emergency.msstate.edu/maroon-alert/.
