This is a reminder that a test of the college's Emergency Notification System (ENS) will take place this Tuesday, September 9, during the noon hour. It will include a test of the new outdoor public address warning system, which features a siren tone and a loudspeaker message. There is no need to take any action in response to the test.
The ENS uses voice, e-mail, and text messaging to provide information and instructions in the event of a campus emergency.
In order to receive alerts using all three methods, members of the campus community need to enter their contact information by going to www.ithaca.edu/emergencynotification and logging in using their Ithaca College e-mail username and password. It takes one full day for additions/revisions to contact information to take effect.
By default, ENS messages go to all active Ithaca College e-mail accounts and to faculty and staff office telephones that are listed in the campus directory. The ENS website gives the option of adding other contact methods, including a personal e-mail address, a cell phone number for text messages, and telephone numbers at which you would like to receive the voice message.
