Case Study: The University of Vermont keeps its campus safe and informed with Rave Alert

The University of Vermont alerts 11,000 students and 4,600 staff in seconds with Rave Mobile Safety

The University of Vermont, a large higher education institution, faced significant challenges in quickly communicating weather emergencies and critical incidents across its widespread campus to over 15,000 students and staff. To meet Clery Act requirements and ensure campus safety, they needed a reliable mass notification system. They partnered with vendor Rave Mobile Safety to implement its Rave Alert solution.

Rave Mobile Safety's solution enabled the university to instantly send alerts to any device, effectively mitigating risks during severe weather events like a -50 degree wind chill. The result is a confident emergency management team that can quickly inform its entire community, ensuring safety and compliance. John Marcus, the Emergency Manager, affirmed that Rave is crucial for getting the word out quickly to mitigate critical incidents.
