zotAlert - Emergency Alert System

One of several modes of emergency communication used at UCI, zotAlert is an emergency alert system that uses cell phone text messaging to quickly notify the UCI community with emergency and safety related information. The system will not be used for routine announcements. However, zotAlert messages will be sent periodically to test the system and to promote emergency preparedness.

Currently the system is provided by Mir3, http://www.mir3.com/. The service is fully hosted off-site by Mir3 in redundant secure data centers so it does not rely on campus systems.
