A regular campus-wide test of the Emergency Notification System (ENS) and Outdoor Warning System (OWS) will take place at noon on Thursday, April 23. There is no need to take any action in response to the test. Even though there are few students and employees on campus during this period of remote instruction, the systems need to be tested once each semester.

The ENS uses voice, e-mail, and IC Alert text messaging to provide information and instructions in the event of a campus emergency. The OWS uses a siren tone and outdoor loudspeaker message to supplement the message for those on campus.
