SSU Adopts Mass Notification System, Active-Shooter Training for Campus
A mass campus notification service and an active-shooter training video are among the new crisis communications services now being used by Police Services. Police Chief Nate Johnson reports the campus has installed and is now testing the Connect-ED program which allows the University to alert students, faculty and staff about a campus emergency within minutes of notification of the situation.
This system is reserved only for major emergency situations that may affect individuals immediate safety, says Johnson. The service enables campus leaders to schedule, send, and track personalized voice messages at up to six phone numbers and two e-mail addresses per student and staff member. In all, the multi-modal service helps officials reach out to students and staff via:
- Voice messages to home phones, work phones, cell phones, and even e-mail addresses
- Text messages to cell phones, PDAs, networked digital signage, and other text-based devices
- Text messages to e-mail accounts
- Messages to TTY/TDD receiving devices for the hearing impaired
Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to log on to MySSU (PeopleSoft) and update your personal information (phone numbers, emails, etc.) so that the university has the appropriate information to contact you in case of an emergency.
Survival skills for an active shooter incident on campus are also being taught to SSU students, faculty and staff through an instructional DVD called “Shots Fired On Campus” that teaches how to develop a "survival mentality." For more information on the Connect-ED notification program or "Shots Fired On Campus" contact Tyson Hill, Director of Emergency Services and Disaster Planning, at hillt@sonoma.edu.
