Emergency Preparedness

SJECCD - Emergency Notification System

The San Jose-Evergreen Community College District has partnered with Rave Mobile Safety to provide an emergency communication system capable of delivering email, text and phone messages.

The purpose of this notification system is to quickly disseminate emergency information to the campus community during critical incidents.

Registered students at Evergreen Valley College (EVC) and San Jose City College (SJCC) and District employees have been enrolled in the program using contact information extracted from MyWeb. This system is provided to enrollees at no additional expense.

Rave Mobile Safety does not charge subscribers to send or receive SMS messages. Standard or other messaging charges may apply depending upon your wireless carrier plan and subscription details. Once registered, you may opt out of SMS messages at any time by texting STOP to 67283 or 226787.

To update your emergency alert contact information, make the changes in MyWeb and the updates will be transferred to Rave Mobile Safety within 72 hours. Alternatively, registered students and employees may log into Rave at https://www.getrave.com/login/sjeccd to change contact information and contact methods. Please note - changes made in Rave will not be transferred to MyWeb. To log into Rave the first time, select "Forgot user password?" and enter your registered email address to receive your password.

You may also register for Rave Guardian mobile application and transform your mobile phone into a personal alarm beacon. In the event of an emergency, critical information you elect to share will be provided to San Jose-Evergreen Community College District to help them more quickly respond and help you. This service is provided to you free of charge by San Jose-Evergreen Community College District. View instructions on how to download the app.

Additional information may be disseminated through any number of communication systems that can be used during an emergency.

These systems include the District website, the College websites, KJCC 104.1 FM, or the Colleges’ Twitter and Facebook accounts.
