Ithaca College

This is a reminder that a test of the College's Emergency Notification System (ENS) will take place this Thursday, September 10, during the noon hour. It will include a test of the 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.

Members of the campus community are also urged to become familiar with the Ithaca College Emergency Response Guide and view the video, "Shots Fired," which contains important information on what to do in the event of an active-shooter situation on campus. A copy of the guide can be downloaded and the video viewed at the Emergency Response Plan website:
