In an emergency situation, you will immediately receive a message from DC Alerts via email, text message and/or phone, depending on which contact information you provided and the services you subscribed to.

Messages will be brief. They will describe the most important details of the situation, and tell you what to do next. A hypothetical message in a fictitious room B9999 might read: Chemical spill room B9999 Coquitlam Campus. Evacuate Building. Info at 1 877 679 0823.

We will advise you ahead of time via email or text before system tests. During a system test, messages you receive will have word TEST in the subject line. For example: TEST: DC Alerts. Messages sent in an actual emergency will not have the word Test in the subject line.

Follow the instructions in the message alert and spread the word to others around you. Also follow any instructions that you receive within the building from Ïã¸ÛÁùºÐ±¦µä¿ª½±½á¹û safety and security personnel, or from the police or fire department.
