There are currently no active B-ALERT announcements.
If you have received an initial alert in a true emergency situation directing you to this page, information is still being gathered and this page will be updated as soon as possible. Continue to return here for up-to-date information of any situation on the Binghamton University campus that requires use of the Binghamton University Emergency Alert system.
When a real emergency occurs, students, faculty and staff receive critical information through a variety of official sources directing them to this page.
The following communication vehicles are regularly used during emergency situations:
- B-Alert text/email messages
Text and email messages would be sent out to all students, faculty and staff with information regarding the emergency. If you are not signed up to receive B-Alert text messages, follow this link to register: getrave.com/login/binghamton - Binghamton University website
The University's homepage (binghamton.edu) will contain important information regarding critical incidents. All current alerts are posted above. - SafeBing Mobile Safety App
This mobile-device application allows anyone to receive alerts directly to their mobile device. The alerts will be received at the same time our students, staff and faculty receive the critical message. The message displayed in the app is the same message our students receive in an emergency text message. In addition, the SafeBing app provides access to a wide variety of health and safety information and resources at Binghamton University. - Desktop Notifications
Computers connected to the Binghamton University network may be setup to receive automatic pop-up warning screens anytime an emergency alert is issued. Once the computer has been setup with the client software, no further action will be needed to ensure you are immediately notified of emergency situations. Learn how to download and install the desktop alert client software.
Lightning alerting system
In the event of inclement weather that brings lightning, Binghamton University utilizes three emergency notification systems on campus athletic fields to notify everyone in the area when lightning is detected within an 8-miles radius of campus. A horn will sound and a strobe will activate and remain active until 30 minutes have passed since the last strike of lightning within the 8-mile radius. To learn more about this lightning alert system and to view the 30-minute countdown timer when an alert has been initiated, go to our weather monitoring page.
