About different types of notifications

Emergency Notification

An emergency notification is issued to immediately notify the campus community upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation occurring on the campus that involves an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees.

 Emergency notifications are sent via WarnMe by text, email, and push notifications through the UC Berkeley Safety App.

Timely Warning

A timely warning is issued for incidents that meet all of the following criteria: 

  1. Clery Act crimes; 

  2. that occur on the UC Berkeley Clery Act geography; 

  3. that are reported to campus security authorities or local police agencies;

  4. and are considered by the institution to represent a serious or continuing threat to the campus community.

Timely warnings are sent using WarnMe via email and through the UC Berkeley Safety App push notifications.

Community Advisory

A community advisory is used to inform the community of significant disruptions to campus activities or for proactive, preventative communications. 

Community advisories are sent using WarnMe via email and through the UC Berkeley Safety App push notifications.
