Emergency Alert System
Triton Alert is the college’s emergency alert system designed to ensure rapid and reliable mass communications may be broadcast to members of our college community during an unplanned campus closure or event that poses safety risks. The IT&e department provides operational system support for two of the applications used to maintain this system, Rave Alert, InformaCast and Cisco Emergency Responder.
