immediately notify the campus community upon the confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or staff occurring on the campus.

Rave Alert provides an easy and effective way to send broadcast or targeted text messages, email, recorded voice messages, RSS feeds and/or instant messages through AOL’s AIM to notify your community of important announcements. Rave Alert routinely outperforms other emergency notification platforms because Rave Wireless has taken steps such as direct SMS binds and redundant connections to ensure that all alerts reach their intended recipients in a timely manner. Many institutions including Boston College, the University of Colorado at Denver and the University of Connecticut have recently switched from other emergency alerting platforms to Rave Alert for its superior performance and reliability.

The Higher Education Act (HR-4137) recently signed into law by President Bush states that higher education institutions must have procedures to "immediately notify the campus community upon the confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or staff occurring on the campus.”

Rave Guardian provides peace-of-mind and increased security by transforming users' mobile phones into personal safety devices. The phone-accessed application can be armed, and when triggered, automatically sends the user's picture, mobile number and personal information to campus police. Rave Guardian works on any cell phone from any provider in the U.S.
