Emergency Alert System
York College's Emergency Alert System enhances campus-wide communications through mass notification. Our goal is to increase safety on campus.
Alerts are only sent during an imminent campus threat, such as an active shooter or major weather emergency. Along with additional resources, alerts provide basic instructions to students, faculty, and staff in the following, customizable ways:
- Emails - to @ycp.edu and personal email addresses.
- Automated calls and voicemails - to landlines and cell phones.
- Text messages - to cell phones.
Contact LTS with any questions or concerns.

Disclaimer
York College offers the Emergency Alert System in accordance with the RAVE Terms of Use (TOU). Responsibility for entering contact information and the accuracy of contact information is the responsibility of the user entering the data and is not the responsibility of York College. There are no warranties or guarantees made as to the emergency alert information reaching the contact points entered by the user.
There is no charge to the user for this service other than the cellular roaming or text message costs associated with delivering emergency messages to telephones. The Messaging Services facilitate the dissemination of messages via varying communication media.
The user's primary recourse in the event of any actual or potential threat to person or property should be to contact First Responders, such as, 911, fire, police, emergency medical, and public health. The Messaging Services are intended to augment First Responder services that have already been notified and deployed and are not designed for use in high-risk activities or in any other situation where failure of the Messaging Services could lead to death, personal injury, or property damage, or where other substantial damage could result if an error occurred.
York College may use other forms of emergency notification to augment the RAVE system.
It is your responsibility to keep your contact information up to date.
