Emergency Notification Network

How PBA Alert keeps you informed

Palm Beach Atlantic University prepares for and responds to emergency incidents that may threaten the health and safety of the campus community.

In partnership with Rave Mobile Safety®, the University maintains the Palm Beach Atlantic University Emergency Notification Network, known as PBA Alert!

Depending on the situation, authorized University offices may use one or more notification methods to communicate emergency instructions, timely warnings, campus closures, severe-weather information, or other known safety concerns.

Emergency notification methods

PBA Alert may use any combination of the following methods based on the nature and urgency of the incident.

SMS Text Messaging

A text message is sent to the mobile phone number registered with the University. Contact-information changes may require up to 24 business hours to be verified and updated.

Computer Notification

Supported University network computers may display an emergency browser pop-up containing the alert message and instructions.

Email Notification

University email distribution lists receive messages describing the emergency, relevant safety information and any actions community members should take.
