The WSU Office of Emergency Management will be conducting the spring semester test of the WSU Alert system on the Pullman campus Thursday, Feb. 17 at 12:05 p.m.
Faculty, staff and students associated with the Pullman campus who have signed up for emergency notifications will receive text messages, phone calls, emails, and desktop alerts on select computers which will be clearly identified as a test. This test will also include the campus outdoor warning sirens.
During the test, consider the actions you might take in a real emergency. Look for areas in which you might shelter in place and be aware of exits around you. During a real event, WSU will activate appropriate components of the system to alert people that they should be aware of the situation, assess their individual circumstances, and act to take appropriate safety precautions.
Washington State University Pullman places the safety and security of its students, employees, and visitors as its highest priority. WSU has developed the WSU Alert System to disseminate official information via email, text messages, telephone, loudspeakers, Alert Website, and other means to notify the campus population of emergencies or threatening situations.
Questions can be directed to the WSU Office of Emergency Management at 509-335-7471 or emergencymanagement@wsu.edu. All WSU Pullman students, staff and faculty can subscribe to WSU Alerts.
