What is CougarAlert?
CougarAlert is the name chosen by the College of Charleston for the emergency mass notification system. Effective communication is one of the major challenges in emergency management. CougarAlert will be used to improve our ability to communicate prior to, during, and after emergencies. Students can register up to six telephone numbers and two email addresses to receive emergency alerts. Faculty and Staff will be able to register up to three phone numbers and two email addresses. The system can push out thousands of messages within minutes.
