Good morning, everyone,

Purdue Emergency Preparedness Office will test the Alert system of notification today, at 10 am. The test will be used to simulate a live situation for practice. This is a test ONLY and no action is necessary.

The alert system includes campus-wide emailing, text messaging, Twitter, information posted to the Campus Status page, All Hazards Outdoor Siren activation, Alertus beacons installed in large classrooms, desktop popup alerts on most classroom and lab computers, approximately 185 digital signs, and Boiler TV emergency alert system activation. The alert posted to the Campus Status page will state:

This is the semi-annual TEST of the Purdue emergency warning notification system. This test simulates a level 1 incident. No action is necessary. 

This information is also found in Purdue News: http://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2017/Q1/purdue-alert-test-set-for-thursday-jan.-19.html

Thank you,

Gabriela
