Today at Elon

IP Phone Speakers/Voicemail

Telephones throughout campus can receive a mass voicemail message and speakers on IP telephones can be used to broadcast alerts.

Sirens

A system of outdoor sirens cover Elon’s campus. When in use, warning alarms sound, followed by pre-recorded voice messages warning of tornadoes, hazardous materials, evacuation, a gunman or other urgent general messages. The outdoor siren messages are not meant to be heard inside. These messages are meant to be heard outside to notify you to check other alert notification systems. View warning siren messages.

Telephone Hotlines

Recorded telephone hotline messages on (336) 278-SNOW and (336) 278-RAIN will detail changes in the Elon operating schedule due to inclement weather.
