New technology replaces the old safety app
Effective Thursday, March 17, 2022, the University of Mississippi will replace Everbridge with the Rave Guardian app as its official campus safety mobile application to help communicate emergency and safety information to the campus community.
All members of the university community are urged to install the Rave Guardian app on their Android or iOS devices.

- Emergency call: one-click emergency dialing to either 911 or campus police
- Inbox: timely campus notifications, alerts and updates
- Campus directory: local public health and safety contacts
- Campus resources: interactive Oxford campus map, OUT bus routes, campus events, health and safety information and mental wellness resources
Additional features coming soon to the Rave Guardian app include:
