An emergency alert system designed specifically for private and parochial schools will debut as part of the city’s broader Notify NYC network, expanding safety communications to non-public institutions. The system comes after concerns were raised about the exclusion of these schools from earlier emergency notifications during major events. Authorities aim to ensure all educational facilities—regardless of affiliation—receive critical alerts in real-time. The launch follows advocacy efforts to bridge gaps in public safety coverage for private and religiously affiliated schools.
Silenced ahead of the World Cup, an emergency notification system for private and parochial schools will launch Tuesday as part of Notify NYC.
