UMB Alerts
UMB Alerts is the system used by the Emergency Management Team at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) to notify the University community about emergencies and weather-related closings.
UMB Alerts messages are sent out via campus phones and campus email accounts. We make every effort to send emergency notifications with speed and accuracy. However, it may take several minutes before you receive a UMB Alert about an emergency on campus. In the event of an emergency on campus, do not delay; use your emergency training and knowledge to take immediate action.
For clarification for what closures, delays, liberal leave, and more might mean for UMB employees and students, visit Guide to Changes in On-Campus Operations.

To receive alerts via text message, add your cellphone number to your account. You can opt out of receiving alerts on your personal device. This may lead to a delay in critical safety information.
UMB Affiliates with UMID have an affiliate enrollment in UMB Alerts. This expires when the affiliate account expires or is terminated. To find out when your affiliate account expires, contact your approver.
UMB community members can sign up for UMB alerts or can access their account through the UMB Alerts - Guests, Visitors, & Affiliates Portal.
