Emergency Notification System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Earlham College Emergency Notification System (ENS)<\/strong> communicates through email, phone calls and text messaging*. These communications inform you of an emergency situation and\/or direct you to take certain action. These alerts are usually in the earliest moments of a crisis or emergency, and may contain very brief concise information and directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure this type of vital information can be communicated, it is important that Earlham College have up to date emergency contact information on all students and employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notifications are dependent upon external providers (i.e. wireless carrier, e-mail service, etc.).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n
