NY-Alert Information for Faculty & Staff
NY-Alert (powered by Everbridge) is designed to notify you in situations where your personal safety may be at risk (see examples below).
Subscription to NY-Alert is free and, while highly encouraged, completely voluntary. This information will not be shared with any outside parties, nor will Geneseo use the system for any purpose other than a true emergency. Subscribers may elect to opt out at any point if they change their mind.
To keep you informed during a campus emergency, it is critical that you enter your preferred email, text messaging and phone numbers into the NY-Alert system. You also may provide contact information for other interested parties such as spouses or partners.
