UCC Emergency Notification System

In light of recent emergencies on college campuses, Umpqua Community College (UCC) has developed an Emergency Notification System (Connect-Ed) to maintain a line of communication between staff, faculty, students, and community members in the event of an emergency. There is no cost involved and everyone is encouraged to sign up.

Connect-Ed is a streamlined, efficient data based emergency notification system which can notify thousands of students, faculty, staff, and community contacts of an emergency or campus closure within minutes.  Secure technology and privacy controls utilize the highest security protocol possible (SSL).  Messages can be sent through a number of forms such as cell phones, home phones, PDA’s, work phones, e-mail, voice mail, text messaging, and TTY/TTD. An individual has the option to choose as many or as few contacts as they feel comfortable with.

Registration for UCC Connect-Ed can be done through the UCC Riverhawk Web. Click on Campus Emergency Alerts sign up. Registration is simple. Just fill out the registration form and UCC will be able to notify you of any campus emergencies or closures. This service is free and adheres to the highest security protocols possible.
