As part of the security, safety, and wellbeing improvements at RRU, Operations and Resilience has implemented a system called Alertus which will be used to notify people on campus of dangerous situations and emergencies. These notifications will be delivered in a variety of ways, one of those being a pop-up notice on your computer when the computer is on campus.
Please check to see if your computer is ready to receive these important notifications by looking for the Alertus icon with the green check mark in the task bar, which is located at the very bottom of your screen, usually on the far right side.
If you have a small number of items in the task bar, you may see it immediately, like this:
But if you have a lot of items in the task bar, there will be a little up arrow on the left of the collection. Click on that up arrow to expose the items that are out of sight.
Problems?
If you:
don’t see the yellow icon
see the yellow icon but it has a red X through it
… please reboot your computer.
If you still don’t see the icon with the green arrow, please let Cecilia know via email and she’ll help coordinate the work to make sure you have what you need to be kept informed.
