The UF Alert System recently expanded to better communicate emergency notifications to our UF Health faculty and staff. This will ensure a more consistent approach to keeping us well-informed during potential crises that impact our clinical programs and facilities.

We encourage faculty and staff at UF Health Shands, UF Health Physicians and UF College of Medicine who have a role responding to mass-casualty and other emergencies to sign up to receive “UF Alert – Shands” emergency updates.

Please go online and check preferences to opt in or out of key groups.
