All students, faculty and staff are encouraged to access two notification systems, Alertus and SUNY NY-Alert, to receive important communications during emergency situations and severe weather events affecting our community. In addition to improving communications during unexpected events, both systems are used to share weather-related college closures and class cancellations.
Alertus
Alertus is a system that allows the college to share messages through selected communications tools, including an indoor and outdoor speaker system; alert beacons inside campus buildings; the college’s website, Facebook and Twitter accounts; email; and desktop computers on the college network. Push notifications are available to those who download the Alertus + app.

SUNY NY-Alert
SUNY NY-Alert allows Hudson Valley to send text messages to those who sign up for SMS notifications.
Sign-up for SUNY NY-Alert by accessing “Personal Information” in WIReD. Those who have already signed-up for SUNY NY-Alert are encouraged to review their contact information to make sure it remains up-to-date.
Please know that we regularly test the Alertus and SUNY-NY Alert systems and take very seriously our ability to communicate accurate information when emergency situations or severe weather affect our campus community or operations.
