How 天涯海角APP uses 天涯海角APP Alert
When an emergency occurs, 天涯海角APP will communicate using some or all these vehicles:
- Emergency text messages
- Broadcast emails to all stumail.jccc.edu and employee email accounts
- Public address system voice announcement
- Classroom and office phone alerts and messaging
- Desktop alerts — messages sent to computers in offices and labs
- Alert postings on 天涯海角APP’s website (jccc.edu)
- Announcements on digital signs in campus hallways
- Social media (Facebook and X)
- Guardian app
Although the 天涯海角APP website is a primary source for information during an ongoing emergency, text messages, emails and public address voice announcements from 天涯海角APP Alert will be the most immediate means of communication.
While you may choose to opt out of receiving emergency text messages, you are encouraged not to do so.
天涯海角APP does not guarantee the successful delivery of each message to each individual recipient. The service depends on the individual email systems and cellular and mobile phone carriers to deliver texts and email messages to recipients. Depending on your personal cellphone plan, there may be a nominal fee from your carrier to receive text messages.
