Emergency Notification System (ENS) Test Feb. 6

Feb. 5, 2013

Dear Members of the Carleton Community,

We are conducting a campus-wide test of Carleton’s Emergency Notification System (ENS) on Wednesday, Feb. 6.

The ENS allows Carleton’s Campus Safety Services to contact a mass number of people in the event of a campus-wide emergency that requires action by members of the Carleton community. It uses three forms of communication to deliver instructional messages should an emergency occur:
*    a computer lockout system,
*    emails sent to @Connect and @Carleton.ca accounts, and
*    cellphone texts (you must register for this free service via Carleton Central).

Please note: ENS alerts are automatically sent to desk-top computers on campus and @Connect and @Carleton.ca email accounts. In order to receive the alerts by text message, you must register your cellphone number. To register, please log onto Carleton Central at:https://central.carleton.ca/. Once you are in the main menu, go to “Campus Alerts.” When you first register, you must respond to a welcome text message that will come from 30000035. The reply is: JOIN CUTXT.

IMPORTANT: If you don’t respond to the welcome message, the system will consider you “not registered” and you will not receive ENS alerts.

Sincerely,
Allan Burns
Director, Campus Safety Services
