It is also recommended that faculty, staff and students sign-up to receive alerts from other systems such as:

• Hyper-Reach, Livingston County NY Sheriff’s Office: This is the emergency alert system utilized by Livingston County when local government officials need to alert the public for emergencies and incidents within Livingston County. This is the best way to receive alerts for emergencies and incidents occurring off-campus.
