resources they contain:

Security Website - Public Safety’s home page (contains links to Campus Parking information, Emergency
Procedures, Crime Statistics, Driver Safety Training information and more).

Emergency Management Resources - Library of resources related to Emergency Management.

Emergency Management Training - A collection of emergency management training materials such as courses
provided by FEMA. PLEASE REMEMBER: for every course taken through this site, you must send a copy of your
certificate of completion to emergency.management@bellevuecollege.edu.

procedures, bomb threats, evacuation procedures, fires, hazardous materials and more.
EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION
Bellevue College uses an alert system named Rave Alert to send communications to all campus students and employees.
Rave sends emails by default and can also be configured to send text messages to cell phones. There is documentation
online at http://bellevuecollege.edu/alerts/faq that explains what Rave Alert is and how to manage your connection
with it. Here are some key points:

All employees’ and students’ campus email addresses are automatically enrolled when their NetID is created.

All employees and students can manage their connections with Rave Alert by logging in using their NetID
username and password (the same combination used to log in to MyBC or into campus email) at
http://bellevuecollege.edu/alerts.

All active employees and students cannot remove their campus email addresses but can add, manage and
remove additional email addresses and cell phone numbers (for example: in case a student’s parents want to
also receive notifications, the student must add their parents’ info into their account).

All emails from the Rave Alert system come from BCAlerts@getrave.com and the text messages originate from
either 67283 or 226787 … please ensure that messages from any of these senders don’t get ignored or
blacklisted.
Routing Instructions
1) Completely fill out document and save copy for yourself and your Zone.
