SUNY Oswego will conduct a simultaneous test of the college's emergency communication systems tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2020.
At approximately 11:45 a.m. this coming Wednesday, the college will send messages via NY-Alert, the college website, campus phones including classroom and conference phones, teaching station computers, emergency broadcast system outdoor speakers, and digital signage.
The timing of the alert – at the beginning of 11:30 a.m. classes on Wednesday, Feb. 26 – is intended to fully test the campus-wide notification system during an active part of the day, while minimizing disruption to classes in session.
If you have not signed up to receive NY-Alert messages, please consider signing up before Wednesday’s test. For those students, faculty and staff who are already registered, we encourage you to check your settings (e.g., phone number, cell provider, additional email addresses, etc.).
- Students may register for NY-Alert by indicating their preferences through myOswego under personal information.
- Employees may register for NY-Alert or update existing information by logging on to the employee portal on the SUNY System Administration website where they are able to enter their contact information.
- All members of the campus community are also encouraged to download the FREE Oswego Rave Guardian app that allows you to set a safety timer, message your family, friends or others you trust, and communicate directly with University Police or 911.
