Why “.NET?”

Why does the message point you to emergency.mit.net?  IS&T has secured a mirror image of the emergency page on servers physically located in other off campus geographic locations.  This is important in the event that a problem on campus made the MIT servers non-operational.  The “.net” location would allow you to have access to the information relative to the emergency on campus.
