SUNY New York Alert is a system to allow SUNY campuses to warn students, employees, visitors, and parents of an impending emergency and provide timely information to protect lives and minimize campus disruption. Messages can be received via cell phone (text and/or voice), telephone, email, and fax. Participants will need to sign up to receive notification alerts, and choose the format they would like to receive messages in at the time they sign up.

Once you have completed the form fields, your information is submitted to the SUNY NY Alert secure database. If there is an emergency on campus, officials at ������Ƶ will notify SUNY NY Alert with appropriate information. You will then be notified by email, by phone and/or text messaging within a very short period of time. This is because SUNY NY Alert has the capability of sending thousands of emails and making thousands of phone calls within minutes.

Lockdown

A lockdown is a security measure taken during a Personal Safety situation. The goal is for people to remain properly secured and out of the line of vision until they are told the area is secure. A lockdown is different from a lockout, which is a response to a threat outside of the building.

What you should do: 

During lockdown, no person may enter or exit another area until the “all clear” is announced by University Police. Movement is only allowed if it is required to escape from a dangerous place or situation.

Additionally, look for additional information and/or directions regarding the specific emergency via the Emergency Alert System.

Lockout

A lockout is used when there is a threat outside of the building, such as police activity. A lockout is different from a lockdown, which is a response to a threat inside the building.

What you should do: 

During a lockout, people can move around inside the building, but no one can enter or leave. If you are not in the building, entry to the building on lockout may be gained only on a one-on-one basis, and only through the main entrance. This applies to all students, faculty, staff and community members. Please note that, upon the directive of the Chief of Police, the exterior doors may not open to anyone who is not already inside the building.

A lockout continues until the “all clear” is provided by University Police. Additionally, look for additional information and/or directions regarding the specific emergency via the Emergency Alert System.

Shelter in Place

Shelter in Place is a public safety directive invoked during an emergency, instructing people to find a place of shelter in their present location and stay until instructed otherwise.

What you should do: 

All college personnel and students are to remain secured in the rooms they are currently in, and no one is allowed to leave until the situation has been resolved and the “all clear” is announced by University Police. This will allow University Police time to address the building emergency/threat and reduce the risk of contact with any innocent bystanders in the immediate area.

Do not open doors for anyone unless their identity has been verified. Stay away from windows, doors and outside walls. Anyone outside during a situation which requires sheltering in place should go to the closest building unless otherwise directed.

Additionally, look for additional information and/or directions regarding the specific emergency via the Emergency Alert System.

Evacuate

Leave a building at the direction of law enforcement, fire and/or emergency personnel for safety reasons.

What you should do: 

Proceed immediately to the nearest exit in an orderly fashion. Do not use elevators. Keep low or as close to the floor as possible if smoke is present at or near your eye level.

After leaving the building, move well away from it, taking care not to block entry and exit to the building. Do not re-enter the building until a law enforcement or University Police officer has given an "all clear."

Additionally, look for additional information and/or directions regarding the specific emergency via the Emergency Alert System.
