Facilities Operations Update

Reminder: Sign Up to Receive Facilities Outage and Service Interruption Notifications

If you would like to receive notifications about WashU Medicine facilities’ outages and service interruptions, you must be designated as a Key Management Contact (KMC) in Workday. Please visit the Emergency Management website for more information.

KMC responsibilities

A KMC is a voluntary, self-subscribed contact who opts in to receive critical incident notifications related to a specific building. KMCs help extend situational awareness during emergencies.

  • Receive real-time emergency alerts by phone or text when an incident impacts your building.
  • Share relevant information with others in your work area, as appropriate.
