IMO that is by far the most effective way to get the word out about an emergency. I check my mail often, bu my phone is like my third arm, never leave home without it.

Being in Florida (a hurricane prone area) Lynn has always had an alert system. Not only do we have a loud speaker that resonates throughout the campus, but we also have all the students emergency information (cell phone numbers, most-used e mail address etc.). In the case of an emergency, students are sent text messages, voicemail messages, as well as emails. It is sad that it takes events like that to create effective security measures.

My school (RIT) has always had decent security but I think the recent tragedy at Northern Illinois University served as a wakeup call to all schools in regards to security. This week RIT is testing its campus-wide security alert system to inform students instantly in the case of an emergency on campus. While I'm glad campuses and universities are stepping up security measures, I think it's somewhat sad that it takes events like those at Northern Illinois University to really drive home the importance of safety on large campuses. While RIT hasn't made any connection between the events and their increased security efforts, its fairly obvious that a causes b.
