An emergency alert system designed specifically for private and parochial schools in New York City will go live as part of the city’s broader Notify NYC platform. The system, previously delayed ahead of the World Cup, will enable schools to receive critical alerts about safety threats, severe weather, or other urgent situations. While public schools have long had access to such notifications, this expansion aims to extend the same level of preparedness to non-public institutions. The launch marks a step toward ensuring broader community safety across all educational settings in the city.
Silenced ahead of the World Cup, an emergency notification system for private and parochial schools will launch Tuesday as part of Notify NYC.
