Emergency Notification

Be Informed

Northeastern utilizes the AppArmor® service to allow administration and security professionals to reach all students and staff with time-sensitive information during unforeseen events or emergencies using voice, email and text message. During critical situations, Northeastern officials can use the system to broadcast pertinent information and provide details on appropriate response. 

This information will not be shared with other entities and it will be kept private and confidential.   This is used only for Northeastern communication purposes with you.
