About the
HSC Alert Emergency Notification System

HSC Alert is Texas A&M Health's emergency notification system that gives Texas A&M Health the ability to communicate health and safety information in an emergency. HSC Alert utilizes the same vendor as Texas A&M University’s Code Maroon emergency notification system; however, HSC Alert is separate from Code Maroon.

Texas A&M Health will use the system only to provide official notification of critical emergencies (i.e. situations that pose an imminent, physical threat to the community).

HSC Alerts

HSC Alert uses multiple notification methods in a best effort to reach campus members in an emergency. While no emergency communications system can be guaranteed to be effective and reliable in every situation, you are encouraged to sign up to receive text message alerts as one part of your personal emergency preparedness plan.

Contact information you provide on this website will only be used for delivering health and safety emergency information. A ZERO SPAM policy is strictly enforced that prohibits unsolicited messages and the selling of contact information to third-party marketers.

HSC Alert Vendor

AppArmor provides the campus-wide emergency alert system for Texas A&M Health. The system communicates health and safety information to our students, employees, and guests.

Texas A&M Health's goal is to reach as many people as possible in an emergency using three AppArmor product suites (AppArmor Alert, AppArmor Safety and AppArmor Command). AppArmor is based in Toronto, Canada and provides crisis response applications and service for organizations in the US, Canada, the Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and South America.

HSC Alert Deletion Policy

To ensure HSC Alerts are delivered quickly and efficiently, periodic checks are done to identify registrants no longer directly affiliated with Texas A&M University.

If university records indicate a registrant is no longer a member of the student body or employed by the university, HSC Alert will send an email notice to the contact email address provided during registration. Those who reply to the email within 15 days will continue receiving HSC SMS text alerts and their registration record will be moved to the “Guest” portal of the system. All others will have their registration record scheduled for deletion from the HSC Alert system.
