MEMS stands for Maricopa Emergency Management System. The MEMS role in the Common Framework can publish a MEMS alert that appear at the top of each page site-wide. There are three settings of alerts, from low-level events like a campus closure to higher-level events like a campus emergency.

We do not recommend including links in these alerts. If linked info is required, create an Alert block also.
