Emergency Info
What is NotiFind?
NotiFind is the emergency notification system used by all 11 North Dakota University System colleges and universities to provide timely information and instructions directly to students, faculty, staff and others during emergencies or urgent situations.
Why is NotiFind being implemented?
Providing a safe campus environment is a top priority. Timely notification of events such as natural disasters and acts of violence will empower students, faculty and staff to take the appropriate steps to protect their safety. The NotiFind system also will be used to announce weather-related closings.
Who is included in NotiFind?
The State Board of Higher Education requires employee participation in NotiFind. Students are strongly encouraged to participate; students who choose not to participate may miss vitally important information in an emergency situation. Students who are employed by the campus are required to participate.
How will it work?
NotiFind will use cell-based telephone and text messaging, land lines and e-mail to inform participants.
Will NotiFind be used only for emergencies?
NotiFind will be used only if a situation poses an urgent or immediate threat to health or safety or if a situation significantly disrupts campus activities, such as a weather-related closing.
Will the NotiFind system be tested?
To ensure continuity of operation, the NotiFind system will be tested at least once each semester. Participants will receive messages stating that this is a test of the NotiFind system. NotiFind messages will be easily identifiable by the sender. All phone messages will be sent from 701.328.0911 and all e-mail messages will be sent from nd911_emergencynotification@nd.gov.
