At NMC, our first priority is to keep our entire college campus community safe. As part of that commitment, earlier this year NMC invested in a new, faster emergency notification system with more comprehensive capabilities. This system, Mitel Revolution, is tested the first Monday of each month.
Beginning Monday, Aug. 3, new and updated methods of communication will be included with the monthly test. Here is what to expect:
NEW:
- Overhead paging: In the Dennos and North Hall
UPDATED:
- Screen capture of laptops and desktops connected to NMC’s network or virtual private network (VPN), including campus monitors showing events and announcements. Previously, screen capture included only desktops and laptops. Users can close the notification by acknowledging it or exiting the window.
- Phones: We are increasing the speed of notifications to cell phones and landlines. Campus phones will also broadcast notifications in classrooms and offices. Calls come from 231-995-1101. You may want to save the number in your phone.
- Emails. Sender is “nmc-notifications.” You may want to whitelist it.
CONTINUING:
- Texting. Alerts come from “NMC Security.” You may want to save the number in your phone.
Students and employees are automatically opted into the emergency notification system. For more information on campus safety, visit nmc.edu/safety. Thanks for helping to keep campus safe.
