About Us
The University of North Dakota has an emergency notification system called NotiFind for reaching students, faculty and staff. In
case of a campus emergency, NotiFind can be used to send out a message by telephone or text. Additionally, emergency
information will be communicated through the use of e-mail, UND’s website, cable channel 3 and residence hall channel 17, and the
local media. Information on the status of UND activities can also be obtained by calling 777-6700. To read more about NotiFind,
please visit the NotiFind website at http://www.safety.und.edu/NotiFind/index.html
The Grand Forks community has an Emergency Alert System that may be activated for many different reasons. Some examples
include: tornadoes, floods, wind storms, terrorist/war threat, or chemical spills. These emergencies often occur with little or no
warning. Typically, notification of emergencies having immediate potential for injury or death will be initiated by the sounding of the
city sirens. Whenever you hear these sirens, immediately go inside and turn on either a radio or television. Local stations will
provide the appropriate instructions relative to the emergency. These instructions may be to evacuate the area/neighborhood or
seek shelter inside a building. For special hazards, specific instructions also will be provided (place wet towels under doors, turn off
furnace, etc.).
UND is in the process of installing a campus siren system. The system will function like the city system, except UND will activate its
siren independently from the city. The UND Siren will also have the capability of broadcasting audible messages after the warning
tone is sounded. This audible message capability will be used by UND to communicate special instructions when needed.
