The University of Michigan Division of Public Safety and Security will conduct a test of the UM Emergency Alert system on Monday, November 25 at noon, targeting the Ann Arbor campus. This annual test is crucial to ensure the system’s functionality, with alerts being tested every semester.
The alert test will utilize various methods, including the U-M Public Safety App, Michigan App, DPSS homepage, U-M Gateway, and other platforms such as interior building signs, Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds, email, phone calls, and text messages. No action is required from recipients. Tests will be canceled if activated for real emergencies or severe weather.
DPSS collaborates with Information and Technology Services to provide effective emergency alert services. This test assesses system readiness.
