QUAlerts

Queen's University Risk and Safety Services has partnered with Alertable to provide QUAlerts emergency messaging for our community.

QUAlerts is a service that allows Queen's University to quickly send important messages via email, SMS text and text-to-voice, and the SeQure app. 

Messages may include any of the emergency situations noted on the Emergency Response Procedures webpage.

The QUAlerts system complements other existing university communications channels for urgent alerts, such as:

• the main Queen's University website,
• Emergency Notification System (ENS) on-campus,
• SeQure app,
• social media (X, and Facebook).

Important messages can also be found on this webpage.

Email messages to personal NetIDs

All Students Staff and Faculty will automatically receive important messages to their Queen's University NetID email address.

SMS or text-to-voice

Students and employees may opt-in to also receive important messages to a personal phone number (SMS or text-to-voice), or a personal email address.

Sign up for SMS or text-to-voice messages  

Smartphone app

Alertable also has an app.  It is not necessary to have the app to receive email alerts from Queen's, but you can expand your alerts preferences by including other locations through the app.  For example, you can sign up to receive alerts from national weather services and from federal, provincial, and municipal governments.

*After downloading the app, go to settings -> Locations -> Search and add Queen's University
