UC Berkeley WarnMe is UC Berkeley's mass emergency alerting system
UC Berkeley WarnMe is the notification system used to send campus safety alerts to the UC Berkeley community via the RAVE platform (previously Everbridge). There are three types of UC Berkeley WarnMe alerts:
-
Emergency notifications: issued when there is an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees
-
Timely warnings: issued when crimes occur on UC Berkeley Clery Act geography that could pose a serious or ongoing threat to the campus community
-
Community advisories: Issued when major disruptions to campus occur or for proactive, preventative communications.
For more about the different types of campus safety alerts and the federal laws that govern them, please visit the Clery campus safety alerts website
UC Berkeley WarnMe is just one part of our alert and warning system that may be used on campus. In case of an actual emergency, the university may also utilize the alert and warning siren system, the university email system, social media, or verbal announcements via public address systems. The university may also post updates during a critical incident on the university homepage. If the situation warrants, the university will establish a telephone call-in center to communicate with the campus community during an emergency situation.
