Wake Alert Upgrades for Reliability

by Betsy Chapman

Wake Forest’s emergency website, Wake Alert, has a new look as the University takes steps intended to bolster the site’s ability to withstand heavy traffic in the event of an emergency.

The centerpiece of the University’s multi-faceted emergency alert system, Wake Alert launched in March 2011 as a website designed to provide Reynolda Campus emergency alerts and updates. It is also used for weather-related campus schedule changes and closings.

In the past, Wake Alert also served as a constant resource for detailed information relating to emergency preparedness and proper responses, key university contacts in emergencies, crime prevention and safety tips, and news releases related to campus security matters. To streamline information in the event of an emergency, these resources are now found on a new website, Wake Ready.
