UW to do full-scale emergency notification test (Capital Times)

If you use UW-Madison text messaging, e-mail and the campus phone system, and all three display warnings at the same time, donĂ¢??t panic.

A full-scale test of WiscAlerts, the campus emergency notification system, is coming on Thursday, sometime between noon and 2 p.m., the first time the university is testing all three systems simultaneously. The test will include all 20,000 subscribers to WiscAlerts-Text, 78,000 campus e-mail users and 21,000 Centrex phone users on campus.
