TrojansAlert is an emergency notification system that allows university officials to contact you during an emergency by sending messages via text message and email. When an emergency occurs, authorized USC senders will instantly notify you with real-time updates, instructions on where to go, what to do (or what not to do), whom to contact and other important information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students, faculty and staff are automatically enrolled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For employees to ensure they receive text messages in the event of an emergency, their cell phones in Workday must be designated as their USC Emergency\/Safety Alerts number.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone else \u2013 including parents of students, community members and alumni \u2013 needs to sign up annually <\/strong>to get alerts through Nixle. A new Nixle list is used each year starting on Aug. 15. Your phone number will be removed from our TrojansAlert system on Aug. 15 as part of an annual list update. You will be able to resubscribe starting on Aug. 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sign up for alerts, please text the word \u201cTrojansAlert\u201d to 888777.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
