Get ready for winter weather: update your contact information in Penn State Health Alerts or Everbridge systems
Be prepared for the next snowstorm or other severe weather event by updating your preferred contact information in the Penn State Health Alerts emergency notification system.
Powered by the Everbridge platform, Penn State Health Alerts can communicate potentially lifesaving information before, during and after critical events. Alerts include severe weather, IT and power outages, missing infant or children alerts, workplace violence and other incidents. The emergency notification system enables instant communication via phone, email, text messaging, mobile app and other channels.
All Penn State Health employees and Penn State College of Medicine employees, faculty and students are automatically enrolled in Penn State Health Alerts when they join the health system or College of Medicine. Their work or student email address that is listed in the Unified Directory is entered into the system. However, those who use personal devices, such as cell phones, or personal email addresses for work should consider adding their alternate contact information to the Penn State Health Alerts system.
Those who don’t wish to enter their personal contact information can install the Everbridge mobile app. See step-by-step instructions on how to set it up.
Penn State Health St. Joseph
Penn State Health St. Joseph uses a different module of Everbridge than the rest of the system. Employees should make sure their manager has their most current contact information so they can receive the notifications.
Penn State Health Holy Spirit
The Penn State Health Alerts emergency notification system replaces Holy Spirit’s VOLO application.
