Emergency Notification System

Get the 411 when there's a 911.  Sign up for Tech's Emergency Notification System to receive messages via cell phone.


Louisiana Tech is using an Emergency Notification System (ENS) provided by the Board of Regents so that students and employees can be notified quickly and efficiently in the event of an emergency.

 

This system will be used for emergency notification purposes only

Emergency contact information will be collected by Louisiana Tech University and sent to FirstCall Interactive Network.  FirstCall has been contracted by the State of Louisiana's Board of Regents to transmit emergency alerts in the event of a campus emergency. The information provided to FirstCall is secure and will not be used for proprietary or non-emergency purposes.

For instructions on signing up for the ENS please click the appropriate link below>
