emergency alerts
Massasoit has the capability to broadcast messages via multiple communications methods to alert all members of the college community in the event of an emergency. This system can broadcast messages to multiple mobile phones and landlines, via text message, email, through RSS feed, Facebook, and Twitter. It is critically important that your contact information be reviewed for accuracy.
When you receive an email message from the system, it will look something like this:
Alert System Alert
Rave Alert [massasoit@getrave.com]
Sent: | Sunday, December 18, 2011 9:23 PM |

This is a TEST of the Massasoit Community College Emergency Alert System. This is only a TEST.
NOTE: The message sender will be listed as Rave Alert just as you see it above.
Information has been pre-loaded into the new database from Banner and by import from the old emergency notification system.
Alerts for Students
In the event of an emergency or impending threat, the College Police will send critical voice and text messages to our students through classroom and office telephones, email addresses, and college television screens.
To ensure that Massasoit has accurate and up to date contact information, ALL students should update their information.
Following an emergency, which would displace students from campus, the college will provide updated information on the emergency through the web page, text messages, and email addresses.

This is an important part of protecting and informing everyone in the Massasoit community, of events and circumstances that may affect their safety and wellbeing, as well as keeping you informed of important events at the college such as school closings.
Everything about this system is optional, however the more contact information you are willing to share, the better the system will work for you.
