COMMUNICATING DISASTER OR CRISIS INFORMATION
Emerson utilizes a state-of-the-art Emergency Notification System (ENS) called CONNECT-Ed to communicate with students, faculty and staff in the event that an emergency occurs on the Boston campus. It is a robust system that simultaneously transits messages by telephone, e-mail and SMS (text messaging). The College strongly encourages all students, faculty and staff to provide up-to-date contact information by completing the ENS registration form.
In the event that a major emergency occurs in the vicinity of one of Emerson’s campus locations (e.g. Boston, Los Angeles or Kasteel Well), notices concerning the situation will be posted and updated as soon as possible on the Emerson College web site.
The notices may be found here on the Public Safety site, and at the following URL addresses:
While the College will do its best to keep students and their families apprised of the situation, we strongly recommend that students and their families devise a personal communication plan. For example, students should consider calling and/or e-mailing parent/family member directly, assuming that phone and/or Internet communication hasn’t been compromised.
Each student should have a secondary contact person in the event one’s primary contact is unreachable.
