The University will test its Alert Carolina emergency sirens on Thursday, Sept. 6, between noon and 1 p.m.
The test is part of a campuswide safety initiative.
The sirens will sound an alert tone along with a brief pre-recorded public address.
After the test is complete, a different siren will go off, signaling its ending with a voice message saying, “All clear. Resume regular activities.”
These sirens usually sound only for an emergency or an immediate safety or health threat.
Such events include: An armed and dangerous person on or near campus, a major chemical spill or hazard, a tornado warning or a different emergency determined by the Department of Public Safety.
No action is required during the siren test.
