SUNY Broome uses the RAVE Emergency Alert system to convey important information regarding critical incidents, campus closures and delays.
The system will send out email alerts, text messages, Twitter and Facebook posts, and updates to the college website in case of emergency, campus closure or delays. Make sure your contact information is up to date by visiting http://mycollege.sunybroome.edu and clicking RAVE Alert in the Quicklaunch.
Please note that at 2:18 p.m. on either Sept. 20 or Oct. 3, FEMA and the FCC will conduct a nationwide test of both wireless emergency alerts (WEA) and the Emergency Alert System.
This is the first national WEA test to cell phones. The message will be a Presidential Alert and will read “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.” The WEA test will be sent through the Integrated Public Alert & Warning System as part of the nation’s alert and warning infrastructure, which automatically authenticates alerts. This is separate from the SUNY Broome RAVE Emergency Alert System.
