Code Maroon - Emergency Notification System

Texas A&M Fort Worth

About the
TAM-FW Alert Emergency Notification System

TAM-FW Alert is Texas A&M Fort Worth's emergency notification system that gives the campus the ability to communicate health and safety information in an emergency. TAM-FW Alert utilizes the same vendor as Texas A&M University’s CODE Maroon emergency notification system; however, TAM-FW Alert is separate from CODE Maroon.

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

TAM-FW Alerts

TAM-FW 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.

TAM-FW Alert Vendor

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

Texas A&M Fort Worth'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.

TAM-FW Alert Deletion Policy

To ensure TAM-FW Alerts are delivered quickly and efficiently, periodic checks are done to identify registrants no longer directly affiliated with Texas A&M Fort Worth.

If records indicate a registrant is no longer a member of the student body or employed at Texas A&M Fort Worth, TAM-FW 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 TAM-FW Alert 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 TAM-FW Alert system.
