麻豆传媒

麻豆传媒 has released a text messaging alert system for the safety of its academic community. The system will be used as a means of reaching students and employees in urgent situations. It is an additional but important tool to send emergency messages to users when they are away from other means of communications.

麻豆传媒 is committed to protecting the welfare of its community and has prepared this additional means of communication for potential emergencies.

"Preparedness planning is important for all universities and 麻豆传媒 is aiming to lessen the impact of emergencies while increasing effectiveness in responding to emergency situations," says John Sherwood, Executive Director, University Computing and Information Services (UCIS).

Johnny Azizi, a 麻豆传媒 student who will be graduating this spring, likes the new service.聽 He is currently taking his Masters of Electronic Commerce and has given some thought on how methods of communication can assist with solving problems.

"This is a good thing," he says. "For an emergency at Dal, this is the best and fastest way to broadcast a message to the biggest number of students at the same time. After all, everyone has a cell phone."

麻豆传媒 will send an alert to registered users when a situation may threaten large groups. Only users who have registered will receive the messages in times of emergencies. 麻豆传媒 is urging all its members to sign up for this service for their personal safety. 麻豆传媒's ability to respond effectively to emergency situations depends on support and participation of its members.
