Emergencies are considered any event that poses a safety risk to the campus community. The most common use of SAFE Alert will be to communicate when the college is closed due to inclement weather. Other types of emergencies may include unexpected occurrences such a tornado or power outages, or any unexpected event that poses danger or puts your safety at risk.

All BTC student, faculty and staff emails have been automatically registered in the SAFE Alert system. To customize your communications (i.e. add landline or cell phone, text), go to MyBTC and click the "SafeAlert Notifications" link on the Safety & Security card.
