EagleOne Alert
 Hinds Community College has six locations spread over five campuses in three counties. Emergency situations with exception to those caused by severe weather are rare; however, each campus is a part of the community environment where it's located and problems may arise. Hinds Community College wants to let students, parents and staff know when there is an emergency on or around campus and what they need to do to be safe.
That is why we have EagleOne Alert. Click the logo to the right to register for Hinds Community College EagleOne Alert and be prepared for any crisis district-wide.
Those who subscribe to this service can have alerts sent directly to their cellular device. The cellular number you use to register for EagleOne Alert text messaging will not be published in a directory or used for any other purpose. It will be used for alerts and for periodic testing of the EagleOne Alert system.
