UNCW Alert System Test Feb. 1

The UNCW Office of Environmental Health and Safety, UNCW Police Department, and the Office of University Relations routinely test the UNCW Alert system to familiarize the campus community with emergency notification procedures as well as for system maintenance.

The quarterly full-volume UNCW Alert system test (which includes the outdoor siren system) will take place at noon on Feb. 1. This is only a test. No action from the campus or community is needed.

UNCW Alert emergency notification system communication tools include:

• Warning Siren System
• UNCW homepage and social media channels
• Campus emails
• UNCW Alert text messages and calls
• Pop-up notifications on university-owned computers

Registered users receive UNCW Alert text messages, phone calls and/or emails when the university issues them. Please be sure you are relying only on official university messaging during emergency situations.

Students are automatically registered for this service. Faculty and staff must opt-in via mySeaport. Parents and the public can sign up for UNCW Alert emergency notifications. Instructions for doing so are available via the UNCW Alert Notifications website.
