The Primary Emergency Notification System installation began on April 2 and will continue for approximately two months. The installation will take place at the 5500 N. St. Louis campus, El Centro, the Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies, and the Chicago Teachers Center.

Please be advised that during this period, the installation and testing of the system may result in some unintended temporary disruptions. The NEIU Emergency management Team thanks the University community in advance for their understanding.

The Primary Emergency Notification System being installed beginning April 2 includes public address systems inside and outside of university buildings. In addition, text screens will be placed inside buildings to further communicate emergency information to the campus community.

In the near future, the University will implement a Secondary Notification System that will include text messaging to cell phones and streamlining of communications through e-mail, NEIUport announcements and website postings. The University community will be asked to provide the information needed to participate in this notification system.

More information will be forthcoming as the implementation of these emergency notification systems and procedures on campus continues. The University community’s support of this initiative helps to ensure safety on campus.
