The University of Maine System uses a third-party service, Rave Emergency Notification and Alert System, to provide emergency phone, text, and email notifications. Users can choose to receive messages related to campus emergencies, safety information, storm closings (including closings at the Lewiston campus), and outreach messages.

Students and employees will automatically receive emergency notifications from their home university at their maine.edu email address. If a mobile phone number is listed in MaineStreet, they will also receive notifications from their home university by text message at that number. More information for students and employees about the emergency notification system is available at this link.


If you are a member of the public and would like to receive alerts please visit the Smart 911 Community Portal to sign up. Once your account is created, you can choose which campuses and locations you want alerts from.
