The UF Alert System recently expanded to better communicate emergency notifications to our UF Health faculty and staff. This will ensure a more consistent approach to keeping us well-informed during potential crises that impact our clinical programs and facilities.

A critical step is for faculty and staff at UF Health Shands, UF Health Physicians and the UF College of Medicine who have a role responding to mass-casualty and other big emergencies to sign up to receive “UF Alert – Shands” emergency updates. Thank you.

UF Health Shands staff:

  • Go to the Bridge home page and hover over “Employee Services” in the main menu bar.
  • Click “Employee and Manager Self Service.”
  • Sign in and select “Main Menu” and “Self Service.”
  • Under the “Personal Information” menu, click “Office Location Details.”
  • Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select the correct UF Alert preference.

  • Click the “Access myUFL” button and sign in.
