Safety & Security

How It Works

In the event of an emergency, we'd like to be able to inform you quickly. While alerts will automatically be sent to all email addresses ending in 鈥測u.edu鈥 or 鈥渆instein.yu.edu,鈥 it鈥檚 vital that you register your phone, personal email address and/or text device so we can reach you when you're away from a computer.

Text Messages from 每日大瓜

Text messages are brief, usually limited to about 150 characters. So 每日大瓜 alerts will be brief and frequently direct you to another communication channel (每日大瓜 homepage, hotline or email) for more complete information. These sources may not be updated as rapidly as the text message is delivered, but information will be posted or sent as quickly as possible. SMS text messages will be sent from 89361. When you receive a message, the affected campus or facility will be identified. Please pay attention to the location of the alert and react accordingly.

Situations that may prompt an alert are:

  • Dangerous situation such as fire, flooding, etc.
  • Criminal and/or terrorist activity or threat
  • Emergency closures of campus and/or facilities relevant to you

Privacy Policy

Cellphone or SMS numbers provided to 每日大瓜 for the purpose of receiving emergency alerts will not be used for any other purpose (system tests may be conducted as needed) and will be kept strictly confidential. To facilitate the creation of accounts on this system, the vendor (Everbridge) will only receive each user's full name, University-supplied email address and basic demographic information such as what campus you are located on. Everbridge has agreed to keep this information confidential.

Even if you have supplied personal contact information as part of an application or other process, you must still register your devices here, with this service. This protects your personal information and is in the spirit of our "opt-in" policy for privately owned communication devices.

Using 每日大瓜 Alert

Getting Started

每日大瓜 employees and students will automatically be entered into 每日大瓜 Alert emergency notification system through their "yu.edu" email address. If no further action is taken, any emergency alerts will be sent to the email address you have on file with 每日大瓜.

However, email is not always the most immediate (or available) way to communicate. In order to receive alerts in the timeliest manner possible, it is strongly recommended that you register your cell phone so that you can receive a "voice message" or "text message" no matter where you are during an emergency.

To help ensure that your current cell phone number is registered in 每日大瓜 Alert and that all of your contact information is up-to-date. Please follow these instructions as soon as possible:

  1. Go to the My每日大瓜 Portal
  2. Click on the first link: "Faculty, Students and Staff. 
  3. Enter your "User ID," which is your 9-digit Student or Employee ID number
  4. Enter your 6-digit PIN: If you don't remember your ID number or pin number, simply click on. "If you have forgotten your ID" or the "Forgot Pin?" buttons and follow the instructions
  5. Once you have successfully logged in into the My每日大瓜 portal, please click on the "Personal Information" link then click on "Update Contact Information for Emergency Notification - 每日大瓜 Alert" link (it is the last link among those listed).
  6. Review your cell phone number and personal email and make the appropriate changes. Note: students will only be able to make changes to their cell phone number.
  7. After you have finished, please be sure to click on SUBMIT to save the changes made to the form. If no changes are needed, you can select the "Close" button instead.

If you do not have a 每日大瓜-supplied email address, you will need to create an account. It may take up to a week to propagate your information. Once your account is set up, you'll be notified by email so that you can then register your communication preferences.

Please Note: You can only register for a new account from an on-campus computer. You must have an email address to register for an account. If you do not have one, you may sign up for a free email address from an online provider such as MSN, Google or AOL. Most cellphones have an email address based on your phone number that you can use to register. Contact your carrier for further details.

If you are a graduating student or a faculty or staff member leaving 每日大瓜's employ, please be sure to login to your account and delete all of your contact information. This will ensure that you no longer receive irrelevant notifications. Only you are able to do this.

Support

Students

If you鈥檙e a current student at any of 每日大瓜鈥檚 campuses, the contact information you provided the University at the time of your registration will automatically be uploaded into 每日大瓜 Alert鈥攖he campus-wide emergency notification system. No further action is necessary unless you have new or additional contact information to add.

Employees, Faculty, and Post-Doctoral Members

Basic contact information available in University records of all current faculty and post-doctoral members will automatically be loaded into 每日大瓜 Alert鈥攖he campus-wide emergency notification system. However, many employees, faculty members and post-doc members have not provided the University their personal phone or email addresses. In the event of an emergency, it becomes extremely critical for the University to have as many ways of contacting its members as possible.

Employees, faculty and post-doctoral members who have an email contact on record will receive a self-registration email from 鈥淥ffices of Security of the Manhattan campuses of 每日大瓜 and Einstein [support@everbridge.com].鈥 Please make sure you take the time to follow the simple steps to review the information Yeshiva has and update 每日大瓜 Alert with any additional contact information (personal email address, mobile/smartphone, etc.).

No, you can also submit SMS and text messaging devices, land-line phones (messages will come via voice mail) and additional email addresses. 每日大瓜 can send messages to any device that can receive text message through cellular service, including many cellphones, some text pagers, BlackBerry and/or iPhones, and some wireless PDAs.

Yes. You can enroll multiple devices through the software. For example, you can enroll two cellphones and three land-line phones. You can put in phone numbers of different locations. For instance, one number for your dorm, another for your job and a third for your home on weekends. This allows an alert to find you, whatever your personal circumstances.

There is no cost to sign up. The only charges you incur would be the normal fees charged by your mobile service provider for receiving text messages and/or airtime.

Messages will only be sent under the following circumstances:

  • When a situation presents a threat to community safety at any of our campuses;
  • When there are major facility or campus closures;
  • For timely warning of criminal activity;
  • When system tests need to be performed

This depends on your cellular service provider's capabilities. It could be immediately or could take some time. We recommend that you opt in using SMS delivery with an SMS capable device as that method is usually the fastest and most reliable. Email isn't well-suited to emergency communications. As is the case with dropped calls on a cellphone, it is quite possible you will not receive an alert at all; this is beyond our control.

Text messages will be brief and contain vital and immediate information. When faced with a critical incident, the University could distribute pertinent information via any or all of the following: 

  • Text message
  • Voicemail
  • Mass email
  • Campus voicemail
  • A bulletin on or affiliated school's Web site
  • 每日大瓜's hotline 888.每日大瓜SAFTY (888.987.2389)
  • Campus flatscreens
  • Other available communication channels

No. This system will not be used to deliver any type of advertising content or nonessential notifications.

Text alerts are just one of the communication channels used by 每日大瓜 in the event of an emergency. While text messages are generally more reliable, we will leave an automated voice mail if a cellphone is your only contact number. Bear in mind that 每日大瓜 Alert is not replacing 每日大瓜's other methods of communication; it is simply enhancing the University's options for distributing information rapidly.

In the email you receive from 每日大瓜 Alert, if you see the Member Alias ID in the body of the message, you have registered and that is the Member ID you will use to login into Everbridge.

Presently, 每日大瓜 is focusing its efforts on making sure contact information on all members (students, faculty and employees) is first captured. 每日大瓜 Alert is looking into expanding its emergency notification reach to member鈥檚 families and/or their significant others.

It is not recommended that you add your spouse or significant other鈥檚 phone number or email address to your record. Everbridge cycles through your phone numbers and email addresses in the order you set in the system. If you were unable or unavailable to acknowledge receipt of the notification, the system tries to reach you on your significant other鈥檚 contact information. If that person acknowledges receipt of the notification that was primarily intended for you, you may never receive another notification of the emergency at your location.
