Emergency Alert System Testing

On Wednesday, May 23 - Friday, May 25, the UMN Department of Emergency Management will conduct a test of the Campus Wide Emergency Alert System (CWEAS).  The system includes outdoor speakers that can convey both an alert tone and voice messages.  Testing will begin each day at 8:00 am and will continue through 3:00 pm.  On Wednesday, tests will be conducted at East and West Bank locations (Minneapolis); on Thursday, at St. Paul campus locations, and on Friday, at all locations.  Another testing at potentially all three areas of campus will occur on Monday, June 4.  When sounded, the speakers will first emit a short alert tone, followed by a voice message similar to:  "Attention!  This is a test of the University of Minnesota Campus-wide Emergency Alert System.  This is only a test."  The tests may or may not be audible to you if you are at your home or workplace close to campus.  If you have questions about the system or its testing, please feel free to contact Gary Hendrickson, UMN Department of Emergency Management, at (612) 626-1388, or gah@umn.edu.

Departments and individuals are encouraged to participate in the campus clean-out on Tuesday, April 17th. Visit the Beautiful U Day site for more information on the campus clean-out event: http://www.buday.umn.edu/

Voice Alert

Activation and testing of new campus-wide emergency voice alert system will begin on Monday, October 24th and will be completed by Friday, October 28th.

When tested, speakers on a number of campus buildings will first emit a short alert tone then the following message will be played: "Attention! This is a test of the University of Minnesota Campus-wide Emergency Alert System. This is only a test." The Department of Emergency Management will be issuing a notification to the University as a whole regarding this testing and activation phase. If you have questions or concerns contact Associate Dean Gary Oehlert in the CLA Planning Office at gary@umn.edu or 4-3801.
