HEIGHTS ALERT is Le Moyne College’s emergency notification system, designed to provide rapid notification and instruction to students, faculty and staff in the event of a serious incident that poses an immediate threat to the health and safety of the Le Moyne community. Those incidents may be criminal in nature, or be related to weather or other health and personal safety-related incidents.

HEIGHTS ALERT uses e-mail, text messaging, push notifications through the Le Moyne SAFE app, social media networks and cell/landline phone calls to registered phone numbers, to send a brief notification about the emergency and instructions for what to do.

A typical message might read: “There is a (specific type of emergency) on campus at (a specific location); evacuate the area immediately and stay away until further instructed.” After the initial HEIGHTS ALERT message, more detailed information will be provided through the College website, e-mail, phone, and/or other campus resources.

All members of the campus community will automatically be enrolled in HEIGHTS ALERT via e-mail, however, anyone wishing to receive emergency notifications via text message – which is highly recommended - must register their cell phone number in the HEIGHTS ALERT platform.

To add your cell phone number to the HEIGHTS ALERT system, or to review, confirm, and/or modify your contact information:

• Navigate to the HEIGHTS ALERT platform, enter your Le Moyne credentials, select “NY – Le Moyne College,” and follow the prompts.
• Students, faculty and staff must turn on two-step authentication. If you have not enrolled in a mobile authenticator for your Le Moyne accounts, please review the Echo page "two-step verification" for information on how to enroll.
