Emergency Communications
Emergency communications are vital to inform and alert students, faculty, and staff about emergencies and critical situations on our campuses. At Texas A&M, a wide variety of emergency communication systems are employed to fulfill this need.
Staying In the Know
The primary goal of our campus emergency communications is to ensure the safety of students, faculty, and staff by quickly disseminating important information about emergencies.

The Division of Marketing and Communications is responsible for managing emergency communication efforts. They will coordinate these efforts with other university units and government agencies. Marketing and Communications will issue press releases, respond to media inquiries, and maintain and update the main university website.
While Marketing and Communications primarily communicate during an emergency, the University Police Department's Public Information Officer (PIO) or the local Emergency PIO Group may provide additional support. They will collaborate closely with emergency management and response officials to ensure that information released to the campus community and the media is accurate and timely.
