Important: Emergency Notification Test
On September 12th, 2024, Binghamton University will perform a test of our emergency alert systems, including B-Alert and our outdoor siren at 11:30 am.
What to expect: Everyone registered with our B-Alert system will receive texts and emails at the same time. When our outdoor siren begins, it will be accompanied by a voice message. During an actual emergency, whether you can hear voice instructions or not, you should head into the nearest building and seek out further information. All methods of notification will indicate that they are tests.
Due to the size of our campus community, there is no single notification method capable of reaching our entire population all of the time. To reach as many people as reasonably possible during critical incidents, Binghamton University employs multiple methods that are capable of being used simultaneously.
