MU officials will conduct two tests of an upgraded Emergency Notification System on Friday, June 24.
The first test will be in the morning and will send a message via text and email only to faculty and staff, and possibly some students. The second test will be in the afternoon and will activate the entire notification system, including text, email, computer desktop alerts, emergency beacons, social media and the web.
The text message will read:
TEST TEST TEST This is a test of the MU Mass Alert and Warning System. In an actual emergency more information would be provided. TEST TEST TEST
The email message will read:
This is a test of the MU Mass Alert and Warning System. The University of Missouri conducts periodic activations to test our entire range of alert and warning systems. The safety and security of our students, faculty, staff and visitors is the top priority of Mizzou and we encourage everyone to fully participate and take this test seriously by reviewing emergency plans and procedures. Mass email is just one of the multiple systems by which you can be notified in the event of any emergency. Refer to mualert.missouri.edu for additional details on any emergency condition that may arise.
If you are a faculty or staff member and do not receive the text messages, you can find information about registering your mobile device here: http://mualert.missouri.edu/whatToDo/update-faculty-staff.php
