Emergency Notification System

As part of Morris College’s ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of the campus community, the College has implemented an Emergency Notification System (Omnilert). The system will send time-sensitive text, voice, and/or email messages in the event of an emergency.

In order to receive text, voice, and email message alerts, all students, faculty and staff must register to receive the emergency alerts. While participation in the text and voice messaging system is voluntary, we strongly encourage everyone to register. The information that you provide is considered confidential and will not be shared. The Emergency Notification System and the data provided will only be used in the event of an emergency. After you have registered, you have the right to delete and/or update your information. It is your responsibility to keep your information updated.

Create An Account

Please register - it only takes a minute.

Be sure to have your cell phone with you and turned on, as you will need it to complete the registration.

Please remember the following when completing the registration form:

• You must enter a username, first and last name, and create a password.
• You do not need to list your cell phone carrier to create an account.
• If you are a student, check the student group box; if you are a faculty/staff member, check the staff group box.

Receiving Notifications

Once you have created an account, you may select up to three options for how to receive a notification (you can register for more than one in a category):

• Text Message
• E-mail
• Voice Mail

Please be sure to follow the instructions about validating your cell phone number and/or e-mail account. To validate your cell phone, you must type in the validation code that is sent to your cell phone. Validation for e-mail accounts requires that you reply to the validation e-mail that you receive from Morris e2Campus/Omnilert.

Once you have validated your cell phone number and/or e-mail, the registration process is complete and you can log out.

Emergency Response Plan

Morris College’s Emergency Response Plan has several elements. The plan outlines sample procedures for responding to the types of crises that a college campus might experience and how the Morris community can get information during a crisis.

The most important element of any crisis plan is communication. Whether or not you understand the various procedures for any given crisis, you need to be able to access correct and timely information to keep yourself safe.  It is vital that a proper emergency communication plan be outlined for efficiency and effectiveness in meeting our ultimate goal of safety. 

The plan, which is provided in its entirety to division leaders across the campus, was drafted by the Morris College Emergency Response Committee in consultation with members of the Sumter County Police Department and the Sumter County Office of Emergency Management as well as members of the Morris administration.
