Emergency Notification System

Emergency Alert and Warning

Emergency alert and warning systems are designed to allow College authorities to warn the community and the public of impending or current threats or emergencies affecting the area. Such public warning systems are essential to communicating critical emergency information to the public during times when other communications systems may not be dependable. Public warnings may be issued during severe weather, flooding, fire, hazardous material release, terrorist threat, water contamination, any other threats to life, property, and safety. During these or any other type of emergency when the need to relay emergency public information is immediate the Babson College Department of Public Safety will coordinate the development and dissemination of these community warning messages. The Public Information Officer or the College’s Marketing and Communications Department will implement and disseminate the messaging to local media outlets and other College stakeholders as appropriate.

In case of an emergency, these systems will provide information about the nature of the emergency, what to do, and where to go to receive additional information. It is recommended that people do not call 911 or Babson College Department of Public Safety (781-239-5555) unless it is truly an emergency (Police, Fire, Ambulance).
