Emergency Notification System to Be Tested Monday, July
26
Regular testing of UNH’s outdoor
notification system will occur on Monday, July 26, 2010, at noon. The test will
include the siren, a “canned” message, and a recording signaling the end of the
test. The entire exercise will take less than 10
minutes.
The system is designed to not only
alert the campus community when there is imminent danger but also follows up
with voice instructions. This two-step approach, called Alert and Inform, helps
reduce confusion and restore order.
Sirens are located on the roof of
the MUB, the roof of Morse Hall, A-Lot, and the dirt parking lot near the
equestrian facility. The system reaches a distance of nearly a mile in all
directions.
In addition, the university will
also simultaneously send test messages through its alert system to registered
cell phones, pagers, BlackBerrys, PDAs and/or e-mail accounts, and a directed
communication to all UNH faculty, staff, and
students.
Contact Paul Dean, UNH's
director of emergency management, at 862-1427 for more
information or with any questions.
