LOGAN – At mid-morning Wednesday, July 31, Utah State University will conduct a test of the university’s alert systems.
Beginning at 10 a.m. those who are on campus will receive an Aggie alert by text or email. Also included will be alert messages at the USU website. Because of recent changes in software the Aggie Alert text will come from the new number 89361.
The test is planned to last 10 minutes.
During the 10-minute period, campus buildings with keycard access will be temporarily locked. This will not include residence halls. Employees and students are encouraged to plan ahead to minimize inconvenience from the test.
USU’s interim director of Emergency Management Scott Davis said Aggie Alerts are the first line of emergency communication with the campus community and Wednesday’s exercise will identify USU’s current level of emergency communications.
The exercise will end with an all-clear message.
