Emergency Alert System

Oberlin College offers an automated messaging system in the event of a campus emergency. This is in addition to its regular website announcements and paper postings. The system uses multiple delivery methods (i.e., voice messages to land and cell phones, e-mails, and text messages to cell phones and to TTY/TTD devices for the hearing impaired) to provide information to students and employees. Employee office phone numbers and college e-mail addresses on file with human resources, student phone numbers on file with Residential Education, and college e-mail addresses are entered into the database.

Up to six phone numbers and two e-mail addresses may be customized by the individual employee or student by using his or her T-number and e-mail address through the Human Resources Department (for employees) or through the Office of the Registrar (for students).  By visiting the Emergency Alert System website, you may verify and customize your personal contact information directly.

At the end of spring semester, student contacts are removed from the system and must be re-entered when checking in for fall semester.  Students on campus during the summer should re-enter their preferred numbers after June 1.
