Emergency Contact
Our Emergency Communication Process
During any significant weather event or emergency, alerts will be posted to the official Rhode Island College website and sent by text message to all RICAlert subscribers. Additionally, pertinent information will be available on RIC’s social media accounts and on local radio and TV stations.
It is recommended that all campus constituents register for the college notification system. Learn more about the RICAlert system. In the event of adverse weather conditions (such as snow, flooding, hurricane, tornado, fire, power outages) affecting classes or travel, the college will provide notification to employees after consultation with the division of Administration and Finance and the National Weather Service. Employees should consult the college's Adverse Weather Policy for more information.
In the event of delays or class/college closures, Rhode Island College will post information in accordance with the class cancellation / college closing policy.
In addition to the RIC website, notices will be posted:
- with local radio and television stations through the Rhode Island Broadcasters Association consortium
- via text messages using RICAlert - the Rhode Island College Emergency Notification System
- on the RIC Facebook and Twitter pages
