Emergency Notifications
HECM Alert is Texas A&M University Higher Education Center at McAllen's emergency notification system that gives the university the ability to communicate health and safety information in an emergency. Texas A&M will use the system only to provide official notification of critical emergencies.
In an emergency, we will post additional emergency updates and announcements at emergency.tamu.edu when they become available.
Visit mcallen.tamu.edu/emergency for more information about emergency notifications and what to do in an emergency.
