Emergency Notification System
The RISD!ALERT emergency notification system uses email, text and push notifications via the LiveSafe mobile safety app to send time-sensitive information to students, faculty and staff members.
While RISD email addresses are automatically enrolled in the system, we encourage users to designate a cell phone number to receive text notifications and enable push notifications in LiveSafe to receive those alerts. LiveSafe is available for download from the Apple App Store, Google Play and the MyRISD app, or via direct download.
