LakerAlert provides instant alerts and updates regarding emergencies, severe weather and school closings.  Through LakerAlert, students, parents, faculty and staff can receive time-sensitive alerts and updates via

• cell phones, PDAs
• e-mail 

LakerAlert can notify the entire College community within minutes, but it only works if you register your information in the system.

The LakerAlert database is completely separate from your GSC account. Once your registration is confirmed, make a note of your LakerAlert password
