We, too, have a system called "Pacific Connect". Our FAQ is at: http://oitfaq.pacific.edu/index.php?category=25 We use the services of ConnectEd which was recently purchased by Blackboard. A link to them: https://www.blackboardconnect.com/products/products.asp?z=20080415134418 We test this system once per semester and it is reserved only for emergencies. As such we have not had occasion to use it other than testing. Our system does SMS, phone, email, and web browser pop-ups using Impluse, our NAC choice. The web portion has to be sent by our network group separately from the ConnectED channel used for the other communication modes. Dave Lundy -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv on behalf of Kevin Shalla Sent: Tue 4/15/2008 12:08 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] emergency alert system The Student Affairs people here at UIC are interested in creating a system for emergency alerts (notifying students of some campus emergency), and requiring students to update that information before they can register. We already have an SMS emergency message system available, but have no requirement for its use, and of course it won't reach people who don't have text messaging available. Have others heard desire for this? What have you done about it?
