Subject: Testing of Emergency Notification System

<p>Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff:</p><p>At approximately 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, September 1, the University will send out a test of the Alert EIU text message system and the Emergency Notification email system.&nbsp; These test messages will clearly state that they are a test.</p><p>Alert EIU text messages are only sent in emergency situations that are considered to represent a serious or continuing threat to students and employees.&nbsp; If you are not already registered for the Alert EIU text message system, I encourage you to do so by going to the Alert EIU website at http://www.eiu.edu/alerteiu.</p><p>The Alert EIU text message system and the Emergency Notification email system are two components of the University's Campus Emergency Notification System.&nbsp; This system also includes the siren/public address system, a phone tree that notifies key individuals about an emergency so that they can post the information in accessible locations for public awareness, and radio and television announcements.</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Daniel P. Nadler, Ph.D.<br />Vice President for Student Affairs</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
