As part of Drake State’s ongoing effort to safeguard students, faculty and staff, the College has implemented a new emergency communications system. Known as Drake Alert, the system allows students, faculty and staff to receive time-sensitive emergency messages in the form of e-mail, voice and text messages.

Everyone who has a Drake State Technical College e-mail address will receive emergency alerts to their campus e-mail address. In order to also receive text and voice message alerts, members of the campus community will be asked to provide phone contact information. While participation in the text and voice messaging notification is optional, enrollment is strongly encouraged. The information you supply is considered confidential and will not be shared or used for other purposes. You will only be contacted through the system in the event of an emergency.

Once you have signed up for Drake Alert you will be eligible for notifications after 24 hours.
