The alert may come to all registered users in the form<br />

of an email, a text message, a voice call, on-campus<br />

network-based computer screen interruptions, and<br />

alert banners on the College website as well as<br />

postings on social media sites, local media advisories,<br />

and College hotlines to disseminate emergency<br />

information to the larger community. Face to face<br />

communication may be used if some or all the<br />

systems above are impacted by the emergency.<br />

Regardless of the circumstances, all segments of<br />

registered users receive notifications.<br />

Follow-up/status updates to the College may be sent<br />

after an initial notification message has been previously<br />

disseminated. These notifications are released when<br />

there is additional information or instructions for the<br />

College population, such as changes in protective<br />

actions. Once the College/campus is deemed secure, an<br />

“All Clear” alert will be sent via BC Alert as appropriate.<br />

Full testing of the BC Alert system components occurs<br />

at least twice per year. This testing is normally scheduled<br />

during the Fall and Spring terms. These tests will be<br />

announced to the College community, key external<br />

partners, local emergency management officials, and<br />

the surrounding communities as deemed necessary<br />

and appropriate.<br />

UPDATING CONTACT INFORMATION<br />

Broward College students, faculty and staff are<br />

required to submit up-to-date contact information<br />

to Broward College to allow for prompt receipt of<br />

emergency communications. Failure to adhere to this<br />

policy may result in disciplinary actions consistent with<br />

the Broward College Student Code of Conduct (6Hx2-<br />

5.02), Resignation and Termination of Non-Instructional<br />

Personnel (6Hx2-3.25) and the Status Quo Working<br />

Conditions Concerning the United Faculty of Florida<br />

Broward College Chapter (CBA).<br />

All Broward College students, faculty, and staff are<br />

highly encouraged to check their contact information<br />

each term to ensure the information is up-to-date.<br />

Should specific contact information change, please<br />

log-in and update that information as soon as possible.<br />

Visit the DSSEP website www.broward.edu/safety for<br />

information on how to update your contract information.<br />

FAMILY, FRIENDS, VISITORS, AND<br />

GENERAL PUBLIC<br />

Students, faculty, and staff with active Broward College<br />

accounts are entered into the primary notification<br />

methods (text, voice calling, and email) of the BC Alert<br />

system. Family, friends, visitors, and other members<br />

of the general public can register to receive BC Alert<br />

emergency notifications by signing up at member.<br />

everbridge.net/BCAlert<br />

Additionally, Broward College encourages individuals<br />

to like Broward College on Facebook or follow Broward<br />
