Communication Tools for Campus Safety
Students and employees are encouraged to register for two notification systems, Alertus and SUNY Everbridge, to receive important communications during emergency situations and severe weather events.
In addition to improving communications during unexpected events, both systems are used to share weather-related college-wide closures and class cancellations.
SUNY Everbridge
SUNY Everbridge, formally known as SUNY NY-Alert, allows Hudson Valley to send text messages, phone and/or email alerts to those who sign up.
You will need to opt in to the system to receive the alerts. When you opt in, you can choose the format(s) for which you would like to receive messages.
Sign-up for SUNY Everbridge by accessing "Personal Information" after you log in to WIReD. Those who have already signed-up for SUNY Everbridge are encouraged to review their contact information to make sure it remains up-to-date.
