Anyone who signed up previously does not need to sign up again, Fredonia's Environmental Health and Safety Director Anne Podolak said.
Alerting students, faculty, and staff to safety concerns
The system is used to send information regarding serious safety issues to the entire campus community in response to any event or situation which causes a serious safety concern. Trained, authorized personnel on the campus will be able to warn students, faculty and staff who have signed-up to the system of an impending emergency, and provide timely and ongoing information to protect lives and minimize campus disruption.
SUNY NY-Alert is part of a mass communication system which will be used during an emergency, but it is the only alert system which will send messages directly to students, faculty and staff.
E-mail, voice, or text messages
The SUNY NY-Alert system is capable of sending e-mail, recorded voice and text messages to multiple addresses and phone numbers that persons provide to the system. Participation is widely encouraged but completely voluntary. It is provided at no cost (with the exception of any charges assessed by a person’s wireless service provider), and only a single e-mail address is required to participate.
