ok资源网 Aware

ok资源网 Aware is ok资源网's system for alerting students, staff, and faculty in the event of an emergency or threat on campus. 

Explanations of a ok资源网 Alert, ok资源网 Warning, and ok资源网 Advisory is as follows:

  • A ok资源网 Alert is an emergency notification of an incident that is currently occurring on or imminently threatening the campus.
  • A ok资源网 Warning is notification of Clery crime(s) that occurred with the ok资源网 Clery geography and is considered by the institution to represent a serious or continuing threat to students and employees.
  • A ok资源网 Advisory may be issued when an incident or crime has occurred and may affect members of the campus community, but an emergency notification or timely warning is not required.

The following systems may be utilized to communicate emergency information and procedures to campus constituents:

  • Outdoor Warning Sirens (controlled by the City of University Park)
  • Indoor Notification System (Main Campus Only)
  • Email notification to ok资源网 email account (smu@aware.smu.edu)
  • Text message to cell phone (sender short codes include 226787, 67283, or 78015)
  • Audio message to a cell phone or other telephone
  • @ok资源网Aware on X, Facebook, and Instagram
  • ok资源网 Information Line (214) 768-INFO
  • Push notifications (ok资源网 Aware app)

All initial messages will provide a brief description of the emergency type and protective actions to take. When additional information is available a text may be sent to direct students, staff, and faculty with further instructions. The information you receive may caution you to avoid certain areas of the campus, let you know if classes are canceled due to an emergency, or provide vital information on what actions you need to take if you are on campus during such a situation.

Notifications are given to the entire community due to the size of the campus, the frequency of movement within the campus by community members, and the concept of keeping the entire community aware of significant emergencies.

If you receive a ok资源网 Alert, ok资源网 Warning, or ok资源网 Advisory please share the information immediately.


ok资源网 Parents may receive updates via text by texting "ok资源网Parent" to 226787. ok资源网’s primary focus is that of our students, faculty, staff, and visitors. It is not our intent to exclude you, but to minimize the potential of delaying messaging to those immediately impacted by the threat.

During an emergency, please refrain from contacting the ok资源网 Police and other ok资源网 departments. It is essential that the telephone system be available for emergency communications. Additionally, during an emergency, individuals will not likely be available to answer the phone as these resources will be focused on the safety our students and managing the emergency.

In the event of a critical incident, ok资源网 will communicate pertinent information parents as soon as possible. In the event of a severe University crisis, the University will provide you with up-to-date crisis information by one or more options previously identified as an ok资源网 Alert modality.
