<p>Son received a text from University.</p>

<p>Yes, as a precaution, all the kids got texts. </p>

<p>I’d be surprised to find out that this is more than a prank or similar.</p>

<p>*University of Alabama officials are investigating an unverified report of a bomb threat on campus this afternoon. Search teams are currently on campus and people are requested to report any suspicious packages or unusual situations to UAPD at 205-348-5454.</p>

<p>the texts seemed to be very late in going out. The FB page had the announcement long before the texts went out. </p>

<p>THat said, many on the FB site were not properly signed up for the emergency texts either. So make sure you and your students are signed up.</p>

<p>Just received a phone call from UA (for some reason I seem to get what should be a student phone call?)… anyway they said that the search found no bomb or suspicious package, but that as a precaution Students and staff should remain cautious and stay away from several buildings on campus…Biology, the Ferg, and several others (didn’t write them down) until 6 pm. It also said that students and staff could use the Rec facility from the 5 to 6 pm hour. DD has been at the sorority house all after noon studying and did not seem overly concerned.</p>

<p>I texted my S after I had seen it on my fb & twitter via Crimson White. They said they emailed, which is too slow for emergencies imo. S hadn’t gotten anything at that point. I will send him the link to sign up for text alerts as it sounds like he doesn’t have it.</p>

<p>My son whose dorm was named in the threat received only an email which he had not checked. A text from his sister and a call from me at 5 pm were the only notifications he had. About 10 minutes after we spoke, his dorm was evacuated (about 5:15). Sounds like our S is not signed up for the text alerts, either, although I thought we were!</p>

<p>Mikes, I tried to explain in the post above your last post.</p>

13

<p>My son just called and said they gave the “all clear” over the PA system.</p>

14

<p>My son was in Nott Hall and saw bomb-sniffing dogs. </p>

<p>Yes, all clear.</p>

<p>Mom of Four…my son met your D tonight.</p>

15

<p>Which FB page was the notification on today?</p>

16

<p>I am not sure if I can post a link to Facebook or not. (Don’t want to break forum rules.) Go to Facebook and search “University of Alabama”. It is the University’s main page.</p>

<p>Thanks Crimson217. I see it now that I search for it. Missed it in the news feed Monday but hope that the text updates we are now signed up for will work.</p>
