PULLMAN — WSU’s Pullman campus is currently running a test of its Emergency Communications System. For questions or comments, please send an email to emergencymanagement@wsu.edu.
During the exercise, most of WSU’s emergency communications tools will be activated and tested, including the Campus Outdoor Warning System (COWS) that consists of siren/PA units across the campus, and the Crisis Communication System (CCS) that will contact those registered for the system directly by cell phones (both text and voice), landline phones (voice) and e-mails.
How to respond
When you receive a direct cell or landline message from the Crisis Communication System (a direct message is one that you answer directly when your phone rings) or if you get an email message, you are provided instructions to confirm receipt of the message. Doing so helps us monitor the effectiveness of the system in contacting students, faculty and staff, so please take the time to confirm receipt.
NOTE: If you were unable to answer a cell or landline message directly and it automatically goes to your voicemail, you will not be provided instructions at the end of the message on how to confirm receipt. Messages that go to voicemail cannot be confirmed in the system. DO NOT BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS!
You do not have to do anything if your message goes to voicemail and you do not need to contact us and let us know you were unable to confirm the message.
For questions or comments, please send an email to emergencymanagement@wsu.edu Your questions will be answered as soon as possible.
