FlashAlert - Up to Date Campus Closures

This year, the internet-based system used for delivering changes/cancellations for school closures to the local media has extended their service to the public. This is being offered through a system called FlashAlert. Every staff member and student has the ability to self-register and manage up to five home or office email and/or cell phone text message addresses and receive emergency information relating to MHCC just minutes after it is posted. This invaluable service is available at no cost to you.

To register:

1. Go to www.FlashAlert.net
2. In the left frame, select “Subscribe to receive news from participating organizations”.
3. Enter your primary email address twice.
4. On the next screen, under “Add an Organization”, choose the Portland/Vanc/Salem region.
5. Choose Public Colleges & Universities.
6. Select Mt. Hood Community College.
7. Click on “Subscribe”.
8. Enter up to four more email/cell phone text addresses (optional).
9. To finish, click “Update Email Addresses and Send Test Messages”. *

*Please be aware that with the proliferation of spam and the resulting spam filters, it is impossible to completely guarantee message delivery. After adding or changing email/cell phone text addresses, the system will send a test message to verify transmittal through your mail server’s filters.

All addresses registered on FlashAlert will remain confidential and shall not be released to any person or organization. Once a year, you will receive an email at your primary address asking if you wish to continue your subscription.

You are encouraged to take advantage of this service, as it will alert you, almost immediately, to any potential closures or schedule changes.
