Finding Out About Emergencies

Official Emergency Communication Channels

Web site: The UAA Web site at www.uaa.alaska.edu is updated. Detailed information about emergencies is posted on the Green & Gold News site at http://greenandgold.uaa.alaska.edu.

E-mail: The Campus Response Team sends emergency notices and information to UAA e-mail accounts from the ayalert@uaa.alaska.edu e-mail address.

1610 AM Wolf-Radio: UAA has a parking/emergency radio transmitter which operates on 1610 AM. Usually devoted to basic visitor/parking information, this radio station will be used for bulletins and warnings concerning snow closures and emergencies. This signal can be received on campus and in the surrounding area.

Phone: In the event of an emergency, UAA telephones act as speakers to broadcast emergency announcements. Call (907) 786-1800 for emergency information.

Radio/Television: UAA notifies all major broadcast outlets of closures as rapidly as possible. Faculty and staff should be aware that not all outlets have 24-hour phone numbers, and that UAA cannot control the content of broadcasts. We make every attempt to notify broadcast outlets by 6 a.m. for day classes and by 4 p.m. for evening classes. To help expedite notification of broadcast outlets and to speed campus notification, please do not personally call University Police or University Advancement. Check your email, tune to Wolf Radio, and check the web page for accurate information.
