The Department of Public Safety and Transportation tests the University Mass Notification System at least once every calendar year, and such tests may be announced or unannounced. View the Emergency Notification policy.

Alert Beacons

Alert Beacon

The integration of “Alert beacons” to the existing Adelphi Alert (RAVE) platform has increased the University’s capability to reach a wider audience while simultaneously reducing the time it takes to send timely and actionable information in the event of an incident affecting the campus community.

The alert beacons are strategically located in the common areas of public use spaces throughout campus and are easily identifiable. When activated by Public Safety Officers manning the Public Safety Command Center, the beacons emit an alert tone and signal through the use of a strobe light, red flashers, and an alert siren. A predetermined message is simultaneously displayed on the screen which provides information as to the nature of the emergency and what actions to take.

In addition to the alert beacon activation, a message will be immediately sent to your wireless devices (if registered with the RAVE System) further increasing the reach of the emergency notification. Follow-up information and incident updates will be sent through the use of the RAVE system as necessary.
