The Pace University Office of Emergency Management is dedicated to maintaining the highest level of safety and preparedness on our campuses. Here are some important reminders for the fall semester.
-
A semi-annual emergency management test notification will be sent to the Pace Community on Thursday, October 6, between 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m, via Pace Alert, our emergency notification system that delivers time-sensitive emergency notifications via text, email, and Cisco campus telephones. If you are a current student or employee of the University, you are already registered in the Pace Alert system.
- The test message will contain the following text:
"TEST: This is a test of the Pace Emergency Alert Notification System. No action is needed.”
-
You may add up to three additional mobile numbers to receive text-based SMS alerts. To update your campus preferences, confirm your mobile phone number, register supplemental contact information or update your contact information, visit alert.pace.edu.
-
Campus visitors and families can enroll in Pace Alert by sending PaceAlertSignup via text message to 672-83 from a mobile phone. Standard data and messaging rates apply.
-
Be sure to download the PaceSafe mobile app. The app will send you important safety alerts and provide instant access to campus safety resources like severe weather updates, a friend-walk feature, emergency procedures, security contact information, direct dial to 911, and other safety resources.
-
Finally, as is our annual practice, individuals will be assigned an Emergency Management Training Module: Active Shooter Awareness through our Safe Colleges learning management system. Completion of this training is required. Everyone plays an integral role in mitigating the impact of an active threat. Emergency Management aims to enhance preparedness through in-person and online training geared to help you prepare for threats to our community.
The safety of all members of the Pace Community remains our highest priority, and if you have questions about this or other safety resources, please email security@pace.edu. Thank you for your continued cooperation in our efforts to ensure the safety of the Pace Community.
