What is OmniAlert?

Omnilert is PAU’S emergency alert system, managed by the IT Department in the Division of Finance and Operations, which sends an SMS text and/or email notification to the PAU community in the event of urgent or emergency situations affecting PAU (i.e. power outages, email outages, road closures, campus closures etc.).

 

All current staff, faculty and students are automatically enrolled in the system with their PAU email address and/or mobile phone number that is on file.

Please note that this system will only be used to notify the PAU community of emergency situations. It will not be used for routine reminders (such as registration deadlines, etc.)

 

How do I manage my Omnilert contact information and preferences?

 

Individuals may manage their Omnilert account by going to OneLogin (paloaltou.onelogin.com), and by clicking on the “PAU Alert” icon pictured here:

By clicking on the “Services” tab, individuals may update their SMS phone numbers and email addresses that they wish to receive alerts on. After adding a new number or email address, you will receive an SMS text or email to validate them. Follow the instructions in the text or email to ensure your information is updated. By clicking on the “Groups” tab, individuals may subscribe and unsubscribe to various notification groups. 

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the IT Department at support@paloaltou.edu or visit the Omnilert FAQ site.
