An emergency alert system for private and parochial schools, previously excluded from the city’s public safety notifications, will begin operating as part of the existing Notify NYC platform. The move comes after advocacy efforts to ensure all educational institutions—regardless of funding source—receive equal access to critical alerts during crises. Residents and school communities will now have broader coverage for severe weather, health emergencies, and other urgent threats. The expansion reflects growing recognition of the need for inclusive public safety measures.
Silenced ahead of the World Cup, an emergency notification system for private and parochial schools will launch Tuesday as part of Notify NYC.
