Rhodes Alert & Outdoor Warning Siren

Rhodes Alert & Outdoor Warning Siren

In the event of an emergency, students will be notified by Campus Safety in the most expeditious manner possible. This may be with the outdoor warning siren and/or with the Rhodes Alert System. 

Rhodes Alert/Warning Clearance

In certain circumstances where an alert has been issued a follow-up message will proceed with it i.e. “All clear” or “It is safe to resume normal campus activity.”

Rhodes Alert System

The College utilizes a mass communication system capable of emailing, texting, and calling all students, faculty and staff in an emergency. This system is used to communicate delays and closures due to inclement weather, as well as alerting the community to present or continuing threats that may exist.

Rhodes Outdoor Warning Siren

The College is equipped with an outdoor warning system. When the county activates the tornado siren, the College will do the same. The siren will continue to alert until the weather hazard has passed. When this siren is activated, it will be preceded by verbal instructions. All community members must follow the instructions and seek shelter.
