Emergency Notification System Components | Emergency Levels & Notification Protocols
The Emergency Notification System has several components to alert the community.
- Siren / Public Address - an audible siren and public address system has been installed on the campus. The system siren can be heard by the community up to one mile and the public address can be heard up to .5 mile away from the speakers. The unit can be activated by the University Police Department.
- Web site - an off-campus web site is maintained by the University through a private vendor. This site, cnualert.info, is the primary communication source of emergency information for the campus community. In the event of an emergency, the web site would be updated with news, information and protocols.
- Text messaging - members of the CNU community may register for the text messaging service. Subscribers are notified when emergency conditions exist on campus. The system requires mandatory registration at no cost to the CNU community. Registration may be accessed through the cnualert.info web page.
- E-mail messaging - the University email system will be used as a source of official emergency news, information and protocols.
- Telephone broadcast - all digital telephones on campus (residence hall telephones) are equipped with a broadcasting feature. The feature can be activated by Information Technology or University Police personnel to broadcast a live emergency message or an information update through the telephone system to every telephone on the system.
- Telephone voicemail - all digital telephones on campus (residence hall telephones) are equipped with a voicemail feature. The feature can be activated by Information Technology or University Police to leave a voicemail message simultaneously to all system users.
- Channel 9 - this feature will be used to broadcast official emergency news, information and protocols on the CNU television system.
- Information Desk - the University Information Desk is housed in the David Student Union. The telephone system used by the Desk can be set from off campus locations to provide a voicemail message to callers regarding any emergency.
