Franklin & Marshall Emergency Alert

Franklin & Marshall's Emergency Alert is an instant, mass notification system that enables students, parents, and members of the faculty and professional staff to receive updates and alerts on cell phones, personal data assistants (PDAs), email accounts, and personal web pages (Google, AOL, or Yahoo). 

This service is part of our larger strategy to enhance communications during an emergency. Our goal is to increase safety on the Franklin & Marshall campus.

Franklin & Marshall Emergency Alert is a completely voluntary service provided to the college community and is powered by Omnilert Network e2Campus.  No advertisements or non-emergency alerts will be sent to you.  You must sign up for the service in order to receive alerts.  And since this is a voluntary service, you may choose to opt-in or opt-out of the service at any time. 

You only have to register one time.  Use either the cell phone or the email sign up page, not both. Once you have an account, you can add to, or change, how you receive your messages. Links in the left side bar take you to the appropriate sign up page.
