NMC is changing emergency text alert systems, and in order to successfully move your cell phone number to the new system we need you to do one easy step.
After you log into NMC Self Service choose “Text Message Opt In” under the Personal Information menu, and select your phone service carrier.
That’s it. See, how easy it is?
Until you select your phone carrier on that menu NMC will be unable to send emergency text alerts to your phone.
If you haven’t signed up for emergency text alerts, follow the same instructions and enter all of the requested information.
