How Blinn Alert Works

The Blinn Alert System allows the college to rapidly communicate important, campus-related emergency notifications to students, faculty and staff by sending text/voice messages and e-mail. The system is active and ready for use, but it is only as good as the contact information it contains. In order to send you emergency text messages and other alerts, you must provide your contact information.

Your Blinn Alert information is confidential and will not be shared. You can register in seconds or update your current information. See instructions below for students, faculty and staff.
