What is the ANU Emergency SMS System?

The ANU maintains an emergency SMS broadcast service in order to contact registered members of the ANU community in the event of a major campus event.

This service operates as an opt-in service and to be as effective as possible we would encourage all members of the ANU community to register their details. Once registered it is important that you keep your emergency contact details up to date so we have the right number to contact to you should the need arise. The list of numbers is then updated into the system daily ready to use in case of an emergency.

Equally important is the need for the University to test the service to ensure that message are sent and received by the community in a timely fashion. In order to do this we send a test message via the SMS broadcast service once every six months.

How can you be included in the system?

In order to receive the Emergency SMS Broadcast, you will need to have registered your mobile phone number.

To update your details go to:

Staff horus.anu.edu.au
Students isis.anu.edu.au
Affiliates olams.anu.edu.au

If you are unable to access any of these systems and feel that you should have been contacted or feel that you have received the SMS in error please contact you local IT support or email voiceservices@anu.edu.au for further assistance.
