The University of Michigan Division of Public Safety and Security (DPSS) will conduct a test of the U-M Emergency Alert system on Monday, November 3 at noon, focused on the Ann Arbor campus. This routine test is part of annual procedures to ensure the alert system operates effectively, with alerts tested each semester for reliability.
The upcoming test will utilize all available alert methods, including the U-M Public Safety App, Michigan App, DPSS homepage, U-M Gateway, building digital signs, Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds, email, phone calls, and text messages. Recipients do not need to take any action. The test will be postponed if the system is needed for an actual emergency, severe weather threat, or similar situations.
DPSS collaborates with Information and Technology Services to ensure the alert system is operationally ready. This testing verifies the system’s effectiveness in emergency situations.
