DSC Emergency Mass Notification
A crucial aspect of campus safety is the ability to quickly and effectively notify students, faculty, staff, and visitors of danger and to provide clear, intelligible information and instructions during an emergency.
Daytona State College Emergency Mass Notification Syste is built upon a platform of multiple systems using various methods to deliver emergency messages.

These technological improvements have been accompanied by the implementation of new training and coordination efforts to ensure qualified personnel are always available and prepared to effectively use each of the Daytona State College emergency mass notification systems.
