by Betsy Chapman

Wake Alert emergency testing planned for this morning has been postponed.

Here is what to expect on Thursday, Feb. 16:

Wake Alert Testing – Students, faculty and staff will receive test messages starting at 9 a.m. These include notification via email, voicemail and text. A banner will be posted on the University website, and messages will be shared via @WakeAlert Twitter and posted on the Wake Alert Facebook page. Please update your mobile-phone information to receive emergency notifications from Wake Forest by text or phone.

The Emergency Alert System will send test messages to every TV that is connected to the campus cable network. This also includes the Stream2 app on any personal device, AppleTV, laptop, phone, etc., if you are logged in and watching at the time.

The outdoor emergency alert system will also be tested.

No action is required to the alert messages during these tests. Testing will be carried out by the University Police Department and the Office of Communications and External Relations.
