Timely Warnings and Emergency Notifications (2024-2025 ASR)

In the event that a situation arises either on or off campus which, in the judgment of CCRI PD in consultation with the Vice President of Administration and Finances, constitutes a serious or continuing threat to students and employees, a campus-wide "alert emergency notification" or "timely warning" will be issued through the College email and text systems to students, faculty, and staff.

• Named CCRI PD + VP of Administration and Finances consult for TW/EN.

The College contracts with Rave Alert for timely notification services. This allows authorized users to send an immediate notification to all or selected members of the CCRI community who have provided emergency notification contact information. Messages about immediate or potential threats to the community can be sent via text, home phones, multiple email addresses, as well as the College's Twitter and Facebook pages.

• Branded Rave Alert with social and multi-contact delivery.

The College has the ALERTUS system at each Campus is used for emergency notifications system. This allows for the immediate activation of predetermined Rave Alerts, the takeover of all desktop computers on all campuses and PA announcements. These desktop alerts are an additional method of ensuring maxi- mum notification to the community. Additionally, video screens (such as the large screen in the Knight Campus Great Hall) and the public address systems on our campuses are also part of the notification system.

• ALERTUS + Knight Campus Great Hall video screen - institution-specific.

A decision will then be made by the Chief and/or Vice President of Administration and Finance as to the content of the notification and the notification will be initiated. For example, a threat to the Warwick Campus would not necessarily affect the Lincoln Campus and such a threat would likely only result in a warning to the Warwick Campus community.

• Named dual authorizers and multi-campus segmenting examples.

All notification systems are tested at biannually to include a full activation with prior College community notification. The emergency Blue Light phones (Liston Campus only), emergency elevator phones, PA systems and safe zone phones are tested monthly.

• Local biannual full activation plus Liston-only Blue Light monthly tests.
