Emergency Preparedness

Emergency Alert System

PLNU uses a system called Rave Alert to send SMS messages and emails to students, employees, and others during campus emergencies.

Students, Staff, and Faculty

All PLNU students and employees are automatically enrolled but may opt-out of receiving emergency alerts. Students and employees should visit Workday to verify or update existing contact information.

Community Enrollment

Parents of students, campus neighbors, and members of the community who wish to enroll in the emergency alert system, can sign up at https://getrave.com/login/PLNUcommunity. A valid email address and mobile phone number are required.

Other Alert Methods

During an emergency, alerts may be shared using other methods, including university computers, digital signs, speakers, or PLNU social media accounts. Follow PLNU on X: @plnu.
