Emergency Alert System

The University will use Microsoft Teams to send emergency alerts and instructions to staff if needed.

Alerts may include information about:

• Evacuations
• Lockdowns
• Shelter-in-place instructions (invacuation)
• Other urgent safety updates

All staff will automatically be added to the emergency alerts group by ICT.

What do I need to do?

• Microsoft Teams is installed on any devices (laptop, mobile etc) you use for work
• Ensure you are signed into Teams at all times on your laptop or phone to receive these alerts 
• Please ensure Teams notifications are enabled so you can receive alerts promptly.

If you believe you have not been added to the group, contact the ICT Service Desk at ictservicedesk@beds.ac.uk.
