To ensure proper communication during emergencies, a test of the WVU Safety Notification System is scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday (Feb. 3) on the Morgantown, Beckley and Keyser campuses.
In addition to notifications through email and text, the test will include push notifications to those who have downloaded the LiveSafe mobile app and allowed such notifications.
Usage of both the WVU Safety Notification System and LiveSafe is highly recommended to allow for redundancies in critical emergency communications.
The WVU Safety Notification System utilizes a three-tiered notification system — WVU Alert, Campus Warning, Community Notice — to inform the University community about emergencies and other incidents on or near campus.
This allows the University to communicate as effectively as possible with faculty, staff, students, parents and other community members with guidance provided by the Clery Act.

Faculty and staff must register for the emergency messaging system. If you are already registered, we encourage you to update your information and ensure it is correct prior to the test.
Students are automatically enrolled in the WVU Safety Notification System through their MIX email but may need to add their phone number, if it has not already been provided. If parents are also interested in receiving WVU Safety Notification System messages, students can add parental contact information through their accounts.
We also suggest all students and employees on the Morgantown Campus follow @WVUsafety on X, WVU Safety and Wellness on Facebook and @wvusafetyofficial on Instagram to receive important updates.
