Emergency Communication Test Conducted
dwaldron November 11th, 2008
At 4:30 p.m. on Monday, November 10, the College conducted its first full test of the ConnectED emergency notification system. The Office of Information Technology is now working to assess the results of the test by reviewing the information made available to us by the vendor.
If you did not receive our test notification via all of the expected telephone numbers, email addresses and text message addresses, I urge to validate the numbers and addresses you specified via ScotWeb. If this does not resolve the discrepancy, or you have questions or comments about the system or this particular test, please contact the IT Help Desk at 330-287-3000 extension 1111.
If you did not visit ScotWeb prior to our test to specify the numbers and addresses at which you would like to be contacted in the event of an emergency, notifications may have been sent to numbers and addresses selected for you by default. I urge you to visit ScotWeb to make appropriate selections. The Help Desk is available to assist you.
I anticipate that a full test of the system will be conducted each semester. Aside from these important tests, the ConnectED system will only be used to contact members of the College community during emergencies.
