UW-Madison will test its emergency notification system between 12 p.m and 2 p.m. Wednesday (today) as part of a National Emergency Alert System Test. The trial will test many of WiscAlert?s newer systems, including text messaging, e-mail and voice lines, along with social media sites. Students and staff do not need to respond to the message, which will read, “WiscAlert: This is a test of the WiscAlert system. In a real emergency, more info would be posted at wisc.edu.”
