The Emergency Response Team (ERT) has been researching firms that can provide an emergency notification (text-based) system. Working with OIT, we expect to implement a system this summer. Students will be pre-enrolled with the ability confirm their contact info, add parent/guardian contact info, or to opt-out. Faculty and staff will be able to opt-in to the program later this summer. The emergency notification system will be used to notify the campus community of imminent weather threats (tornadoes, severe thunder-storms, etc.), dangerous situations or crimes in progress (armed robbery, hostile intruder, shooting, etc.), a crisis at Calvert Cliffs, school closings due to inclement weather, and timely warnings.
For more information, please contact Michael Gass at OIT or Joanne Goldwater in Residence Life.
