Texas A&M University will send emergency alerts to anyone using the HECM Alert mobile app, subscribed to text message alerts, accessing the RSS feed, or following the Twitter account TAMUCM_McAllen. Delivery to Twitter cannot be guaranteed since Texas A&M University does not manage this notification outlet.
