The UPennAlert Emergency Notification System enables the University to quickly notify the Penn and surrounding Philadelphia community of critical information during a major emergency. https://www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/pennready/upennalert/ Update Your Information Now! The effectiveness of the UPennAlert via personal electronic devices depends upon faculty, staff and student providing accurate and up-to-date personal contact

• information. We urge you to partner with the University in registering your cell

phone number, as well as other emergency contact information, so that University

• fficials can communicate with you wherever you happen to be.

PENN SOS (Siren Outdoor System)

PennSOS is one of several delivery methods for disseminating a UPennAlert Emergency Notification. PennSOS provides a second layer of protection for the Penn Community, offering the advantage of communicating with all individuals located outdoors, throughout Penn's

• campus. These individuals might not otherwise receive emergency

notification if they are not registered with the UPennAlert System, or are not a Penn affiliate. In the event of a major emergency, both systems could be used to alert people in the area of an immediate, dangerous situation. https://www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/pennready/upennalert/penn-siren-outdoor-system-pennsos/

• Penn Guardian is a free app that is available to all Penn community members. It was developed by the

University’s safety partner Rave Guardian, a service utilized on college campuses across the country.

• Registering is easy- search “Rave Guardian” in the App Store for iOS devices or Google Play for Android

devices.

• Calls from a registered phone will allow Penn Police to determine your cell phone’s GPS location, which

can decrease response time. This information will only be available to Penn Police when you call the Penn Emergency Communications Center (PennComm) directly, either through the app or at 215-573-3333.

• If a call is made to PennComm, and you are unable to speak—perhaps because of an allergic reaction—a

call taker will send a text message to your phone & communicate directly via text.

• The app includes other features, and provides a confidential way to submit a tip to Penn Police—

through a text message.
