The Ithaca College Emergency Notification System (ENS) and Outdoor Warning System (OWS) will be tested on Thursday, Sept. 8, during the noon hour. The OWS features a siren tone and loudspeaker message. There is no need to take any action in response to the tests.
The ENS uses voice, e-mail, and text messaging to provide information and instructions in the event of a campus emergency. It is important to have multiple ways to receive these alerts in order to ensure access to essential notices, such as weather closings or delays.
Please be aware that, because of system capacities, not everyone will receive an alert message by each method at exactly the same time.
To receive alerts using all three methods, members of the campus community need to enter their contact information by going to the Emergency Notification System website at ithaca.edu/emergencynotification and logging in using their Ithaca College username and password.
