69³ÉÈË emergency officials encourage employees and students to review and add to their contact information used for the WarnMe emergency notification system before it is tested midday on Wednesday, April 24.

In the last of three regular tests for the academic year, 69³ÉÈË will send alerts by text message and email to faculty, staff and students, all of whom are automatically registered to receive alerts through their 69³ÉÈË email. Text messages will be sent to those who have added mobile numbers to their WarnMe contact information.

WarnMe messages provide information and directions regarding emergencies that pose an immediate threat to life and safety.
