Additional Resources

    1. Build a Kit
    2. Make a Plan
    3. Get Tech Ready
    4. Emergency Alerts

AlertNIH is a communications service that allows the NIH, and the employee's respective IC, to broadcast messages to all employees and contractors simultaneously, or to selected individuals or groups, in a faster, more efficient manner than the traditional mass notification methods.

Your government communications devices (work phone, email, blackberry, cell phone, etc.) are already in AlertNIH and you will receive messages on these devices.

You can also choose to receive messages on your personal devices (home phone, cell phone, home email) by updating your NIH Enterprise Directory (NED) profile.
