Emergency Siren Warning System test

posted 9 minutes ago by Scott Turner   [ updated 2 minutes ago ]

A full-system test of the Emergency Siren Warning System will take place at noon Tuesday, April 10, 2012. The test will include alert tones plus voice messages. No action will be necessary during the test.

A full-system test of the Emergency Siren Warning System occurs at least twice annually. Otherwise, the system is activated only for life-threatening emergencies that arrive without warning. 

In an emergency, the Brown homepage - www.brown.edu - will direct users to this site.
