In Case of Campus-Wide Emergency

The College has installed an emergency siren that will be activated in cases of campus-wide emergencies, such as an active shooter on campus, a hostage situation, a hazardous material accident or hostile event in the area surrounding the campus, or a weather emergency (tornado). We encourage you to subscribe to the College’s emergency alert system so that you will receive a text message to your cell phone should such an emergency occur.

You can subscribe to the Lyco Emergency Alert System at: http://srv2.lycoming.edu/myLyco/students/students.html

You are encouraged to become familiar with the College’s emergency procedures at: http://www.lycoming.edu/emergencyPreparedness/.
