Emergency Bulletin

Platform managers can publish emergency bulletin messages, determine which roles and personas should see the alert, and determine when the message should appear and expire. Include a URL in your message to link users to additional information.

If your school also uses Blackbaud's School Website System , you can also publish the emergency bulletin to your public-facing website.

From Core, select Communication and Emergency bulletins. Existing bulletins appear in a list.

Users see emergency bulletins appear as a banner message when they log in.

Tip: We recommend you document potential scenarios and sample messages in your school's policies and procedures. To reduce message fatigue (in which users begin to ignore and dismiss banner messages without reading them), avoid excessive use of emergency bulletins for general messages.
