In the event of an emergency involving an imminent threat on campus, which is confirmed by Campus Safety, a member of Campus Safety and/or a member of the emergency management group will utilize the College’s emergency notification system.
The College’s emergency notification system is comprised of:
Text message
All students, faculty and staff are automatically incorporated in the system as long as they provide a current cell phone number to the College. Emergency contacts, including parents, may also receive text message notifications. Students can update their emergency contact information by following these instructions.
All messages are sent to student, faculty and staff Eckerd.edu email accounts. These messages provide more detail.
Outdoor siren
Alerts individuals of an imminent danger and to seek shelter inside (only used in conjunction with text and email notification).
The content of the notification will be determined by Campus Safety and/or a member of the emergency management group.
These messages are transmitted only during emergencies and are an additional real time avenue of communication.
