In order to help create a safer environment for our students, faculty, and staff, the technology office maintains a software system that is capable of quickly sending out an emergency message. Setting up the system entails uploading email addresses, and cell phone numbers of all campus community members and parents of students. Maintaining the system includes removing stale numbers, and adding in new community members when they arrive on campus. When an emergency message needs to be sent out, a message can be created and sent via text and email in a matter of minutes. These messages will notify people of a situation on campus and offer directions on how to proceed. A follow up message alerts people that the situation has ended and that they can return to normal activities.
