Emergency Alerts

Partnered with Rave Mobile Safety, GBC provides a messaging system for emergency notifications and updates through text messaging and email.

All students, faculty, and staff are automatically enrolled for emergency notifications with their GBC Email addresses and mobile phone numbers on record. Users may add emails and mobile phone numbers or opt out of text messages using the Digital Communications Preferences form. The system allows for three email addresses and three mobile phone numbers. Standard text messaging fees may apply and are the user's responsibility.

gbcALERT sends notifications instantly and simultaneously about:

  • Emergency conditions on or around campus
  • Weather cancellations and delays

Users, please note:

  • You can opt out of text messaging at any time.
  • Service providers may apply standard text messaging fees, which are the user's responsibility.
  • Emergency and weather messages are automatic.
  • No advertising messages will be sent using this system.
  • Your information is not shared with nor sold to third parties.
