The college is testing its emergency communications systems on Friday, Aug. 18 between 10 and 11 a.m.
Test messages will be broadcast to the indoor and outdoor speaker systems; alert beacons inside campus buildings; the college’s website, Facebook and Twitter accounts; student and employee email; desktop computers on the college network and the Alertus mobile application.
Additionally, we will test the SUNY NY-Alert system. SUNY NY-Alert allows Hudson Valley to send text messages, phone and/or email alerts to those who sign up. You may sign-up for SUNY NY-Alert by accessing “Personal Information” after you log in to WIReD. Those who have already registered for SUNY NY-Alert are encouraged to review their contact information to make sure it remains up-to-date.
