Eagle Alert
Eagle Alert is UNT's official, campus-wide emergency notification system for emergency events, inclement winter weather closures, or Tornado Warnings. Eagle Alert allows UNT administrators to quickly contact campus community members by phone, text, and email. Eagle Alert will also post to the Eagle Alert Twitter.
In addition to receiving direct messages by phone and email, the system includes a feature called desktop override that takes control over most UNT-owned computers in offices, classrooms, and public spaces on campus. During the test or in the event of an emergency, computer screens, presentation screens, and digital signs will display a full-screen alert.
UNT faculty, staff, and students are automatically enrolled in Eagle Alert. Individuals should remember, however, that if their personal contact information changes, they should go to my.unt.edu (students/faculty) or my.untsystem.edu (staff) to update their information. Instructions for updating your information can be found here.

Outdoor Warning Sirens
The City of Denton has numerous outdoor warning sirens (with five on the UNT campus). The sirens are used to alert the public of impending emergencies, including severe weather. The sirens are tested on the first Wednesday of each month at noon, with each test lasting approximately three minutes. In the event of inclement weather, siren tests will be postponed until the second Wednesday of the month.
When you hear the outdoor warning sirens, go indoors and to the nearest shelter location; turn your radio to KNTU 88.1 FM, and monitor the weather and local media to determine when the threat has ended.
NOTE: If a Tornado Warning includes the UNT campus, an Eagle Alert notification will be sent; another Eagle Alert message will be sent when the Tornado Warning has ended.
