Emergency Alerts
LCCC's emergency notification system (RAVE) is designed to quickly send text messages
to mobile phones and email accounts whenever there's a situation that LCCC students
and the campus community need to know about. This is an opt-out system; once you are
a student or employee, you are already set up to receive alert messages.
When students sign up, they can choose how they want to be notified if there's an
alert such as a weather closure or a dangerous situation on campus. Signing up for
text messages is probably a good choice for most users.

How many messages will students receive?
Those signing up for emergency alerts will probably only receive two to four messages each year based on the number of times campus usually closes each year. However, if there's a more serious type of campus emergency, numerous messages may be sent in a single day to make sure everyone has the latest information. LCCC also plans to conduct a test message each semester to verify a student's subscription to this service and to ensure the system is working properly.

Will the system work if there is a power failure?
All systems including email and text message systems are subject to failure due to emergencies or disasters. While this is a valuable addition to LCCC's existing emergency notification systems, the college can't guarantee that it will work in all emergencies.
How does a student unsubscribe?
While we recommend against unsubscribing to these messages, if you choose to do so you need to respond to the text or email message with STOP.
