Emergency Alerts:
Skidmore Urgent Notification System
(SUNS, also known as Omnilert, previously e2campus)
The Skidmore Urgent Notification System (SUNS) is the college's emergency alert/urgent notification system, which uses Omnilert software. SUNS is composed of the following methods by which notification or timely warnings can be communicated to the Skidmore community in the event of an emergency:
- Outdoor siren/PA system (located atop the library) will be activated to alert campus community members who are out-of-doors on campus of an imminent danger or emergency and to take notice of their immediate surroundings, which may require seeking shelter or evacuation of the area.
- Omnilert communications: Mass urgent notification/alerts to enrolled email, voicemail, SMS/text message, the skidmore.edu homepage and digital signage. Note: Information entered into Omnilert will not be given or or sold to a third party.
- Students are automatically enrolled in Omnilert based on their registration information.
- Faculty and staff are automatically enrolled to receive email notifications, but should self-enroll in Omnilert with additional contact information, e.g., phone numbers, so they can receive emergency alerts and information of an emergency situation or incident.
