HU Alerts and LiveSafe Campus Safety App

LiveSafe is a platform that Hamline Public Safety uses to send emergency notifications – called HU Alerts – to the entire campus community and provide additional safety features to mobile device users via the LiveSafe mobile app.

Students and staff members are automatically opted in to receive HU Alerts at their Hamline email address. They can also get HU Alerts via voice message and text message by making sure their mobile phone number is up-to-date in Workday.

Another way to receive HU Alerts is via push notification to your mobile phone when Hamline University is selected as your location in the LiveSafe app.

Remember that email is the communication channel you are least likely to see in an emergency situation. That’s why Hamline Public Safety strongly recommends you maintain an up-to-date phone number in Workday and set up a profile on the LiveSafe app.

For more information, contact Hamline Public Safety at 651-523-2100 or security@hamline.edu.

The LiveSafe mobile app offers enhanced safety features for the Hamline community:
