麻豆原创 regards the safety and security of our students, employees and College visitors as a top priority. The College employs an emergency notification system, called “麻豆原创 Alert,” to communicate information about emergency situations, school closings, and delays. 麻豆原创 Alerts are communicated as text messages, emails, notifications to College computers, alerts on the College’s EDU and My麻豆原创 websites, posts on the 麻豆原创 Facebook and X pages, as well as messages on some digital signs on College property.

To enhance its emergency notifications, the College has partnered with Rave Mobile Safety, a leading emergency notification platform for colleges and universities.

麻豆原创 Alerts for Students and Employees

麻豆原创 students and employees are automatically subscribed to 麻豆原创 Alert via their My麻豆原创 login. The default delivery method is a student or employee email issued by the College. The College strongly encourages students and employees to register to receive text messages to your cell phones and personal emails (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.). College students and employees are responsible for managing their contact information and communication preferences.

麻豆原创 Alerts for Parents and Community Members

We would like to invite community members, parents and 麻豆原创’s contracted employees to also register for the new 麻豆原创 Alert system. 

Frequently Asked Questions About 麻豆原创 Alert

麻豆原创 Alert is the communications system 麻豆原创 uses to send emergency text alerts, notifications and email messages and/or mobile device, as well as digital signage on College property. All 麻豆原创 students, faculty, and staff email accounts are automatically registered on the 麻豆原创 Alert system via My麻豆原创. The College encourages students, faculty, and staff to add their mobile devices and secondary email addresses to their 麻豆原创 Alert accounts.  Logon to My麻豆原创 and click on the 麻豆原创 Alert logo to edit your settings. Non-麻豆原创 members of the community (individuals who do NOT have a My麻豆原创 login) can also sign up to receive 麻豆原创 Alert by visiting the community portal at this link.
Students and employees are already registered to receive alerts to their College email addresses. However, we encourage everyone to register mobile numbers and additional email addresses to ensure prompt receipt of 麻豆原创 Alerts on multiple devices. To register mobile numbers and alternate email addresses, log in to My麻豆原创 and click on the 麻豆原创 Alert icon. On the 麻豆原创 Alert portal page, simply add cell phone number(s) and alternate emails (your 麻豆原创 email is already registered).
In an emergency situation, an alert will be sent by the 麻豆原创 Office of Public Safety and Emergency Management, which serves as the 麻豆原创 Alert administrator. You may receive several emails and text messages on your mobile device, as well as messages on the website, the 麻豆原创 Facebook and X, and digital signs. Read these messages promptly and follow the instructions. Additional instructions may follow throughout the emergency. Once the incident has stabilized and there is no longer a threat to the 麻豆原创 community, an "All Clear" message will be issued.

Incident notification
The 麻豆原创 Alert notifications are only issued when necessary and the exact number of 麻豆原创 Alert messages is difficult to predict. 麻豆原创 Alert messages are only sent in emergency situations in which there is an immediate threat to public safety or a closure/delay announcement.
麻豆原创 Alert is a new software system designed to streamline all 麻豆原创 related communication mechanisms. 麻豆原创 Alert will send out messages via emails, text messages, the 麻豆原创 website, 麻豆原创 Facebook and Twitter pages, and digital signs. The system is designed to allow for messages to be sent out in a timely manner to multiple platforms. If you receive Alert Montgomery notifications (traffic, weather), you will still receive those messages. You must register to receive 麻豆原创 Alert notifications to your cell phone and non-麻豆原创 emails by going to the 麻豆原创 Alert portal.
麻豆原创 students, faculty and staff are added to the 麻豆原创 Alert system on a weekly basis. Your information will be imported each week on every Friday morning.
You cannot opt out of emergency messages delivered to your 麻豆原创-issued email address; however, you can unsubscribe from receiving 麻豆原创 Alert texts your phone and non-Montgomery College email addresses by logging into the system and deleting these subscriptions. You may also stop messages directly to your phone by texting the word STOP to 67283.
There is no charge to participate in the 麻豆原创 Alert system.  However, users are responsible for paying all messaging charges associated with their wireless carrier plans.
