Everbridge

SUNY WCC uses a program called Everbridge to send emergency alerts and messages. These messages are sent out when there is an active emergency that affects SUNY WCC (ex: hurricanes, tsunamis, active shooters, etc).

Weather Announcements

During inclement weather or other emergency situations parts or all of the college may need to close out of public safety concerns. Such information will be shared via:

• Website Alert System
• Calling the college at 914-606-6900
• Phone/Text message*

*Please ensure SUNY WCC has your current contact information so that you receive emergency notifications. If you need to add or update your cell phone number with the college, see information below.

If no message is disseminated about closures or delayed openings, you should assume that classes will meet as scheduled.

On a case-by-case basis, the college will host two “staging areas” for students and staff who are waiting out a storm or awaiting rides. In addition to the Student Center Lounge and/or Cafeteria, which normally serve as a holding area for students in these instances, we will occasionally also open up the Gateway Center atrium.

Regarding delays, if the college has a delayed opening, you may still have class. It depends on the timing of your class. For instance, if the college has a delayed opening at 11:00 a.m., and your class normally runs from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m., your class will not meet. However, for instance, if you have a class that normally runs from 10:00 until 11:30 a.m., your class would meet for a half hour from 11:00 to 11:30 a.m.
