U-M Division of Public Safety and Security will test the U-M Emergency Alert system at noon March 30.

The activation is part of annual testing to ensure the system continues to function as expected. Test alerts are sent once per semester.

The test will be sent through all alert system methods, including the DPSS App, Michigan App, DPSS homepage, U-M Gateway, interior building digital signs, X, Facebook, RSS feeds, email, phone calls and text messages. Recipients do not need to take any action.

The test will be canceled if the system is activated for a real emergency, a threat of severe weather or other extenuating circumstances.

DPSS and Information and Technology Services are partners in providing the emergency alert functionality. The test will confirm the system’s readiness for operations. 

Information about the test is found on the DPSS website.
