Emergency Notification System

In the event of a campus emergency (such as the need to close due to a security threat), the mass notification system will be used to immediately send messages to all Institute phones and email addresses. In addition, Faculty, Staff and Members are able to provide additional telephone and personal email addresses to the system to ensure that the
information is received successfully after normal business hours at alternative contact points. An additional contact point may also include a notification to a spouse, companion or other family member as the individual chooses.

This mass notification system will be utilized only when there is an emergency situation on campus that necessitates altering normal activity. Some examples can include a fire, a delayed opening due to weather, a police emergency, or a threat that might affect individuals on campus.

The system will also be used to notify staff and faculty when extreme weather necessitates a delayed start to the normal work day.
