UH to conduct crisis drill on Tuesday
Advertiser Staff
The University of Hawai'i-Mānoa will conduct an integrated campus-wide test of its crisis communications capabilities at 11:55 a.m. on Tuesday.
This is the first test of the newly installed student test-messaging system, which more than 2,000 students have signed up for at www.hawaii.edu/alert.
During the test, all students, faculty and staff will be sent test alerts by e-mail, text messages and/or telephone. Emergency notification messages will direct members of the UH community to definitive sources of information via telephone or the Web.
Also, at 11:55 a.m., Campus Security officers will test their vehicles' public address systems - installed over the past year for use in case of emergencies - in the area of Hawai'i Hall and Varney Circle. In case of an actual emergency, Campus Security would use the loudspeakers to announce an emergency, and warn listeners to evacuate or take cover.
