Campus Emergency Notification JMU uses a text-based system to inform the campus community in the event of an active shooter or other life-threatening event. You will need to provide your cell number in MyMadison so we can send you emergency notification messages. Download the free LiveSafe app to share information with campus police about potential crimes or unsafe situations. You are able to report GPS-tagged infor- mation with added picture, video and audio clips. It also allows law enforcement to push information to supplement the Madison Alert system already in place on campus.
