Tejano Alert

Tejano Alert is used by EPCC to deliver unexpected closure information and emergency warnings directly to your mobile device and email. Stay informed by registering and updating your information in EPCC’s emergency notification registration system. You may register one cell phone and one email address to receive alerts. Once you have registered to receive Tejano Alerts, these messages provide information, guidance and instructions on what actions you should take or avoid. The Tejano Alert System is an important part of keeping you informed during emergencies.

This system ensures that you receive critical emergency notifications of disasters, hazardous weather, police emergencies, or unexpected events and closures affecting classes or college business.

When there is an emergency or closure announcement, the EPCC Tejano Alert System sends a text message to text enabled devices to the mobile device registered by the user and also sends an e-mail notification to the e-mail addresses you have registered in your Tejano Alert. Messages are automatically sent to student, faculty, and staff EPCC email accounts.

There is no charge to you to be part of the Tejano Alert Emergency Notification System; your carrier may apply text message delivery charges depending on your cellular service plan.

To receive alerts:

  • Register or Update Tejano Alert
  • Install the AtHoc Notifier app on iOS or Android
    • Upon opening the app for the first time, when prompted, use your EPCC email address and Organization Code: epcc
