A computer monitor shows a test of IUP’s emergency alert system. The text reads, “Alert! This is a test of the Alertus Emergency Notification System. No action is needed. In a real emergency, this system will be used to provide emergency information and protective actions. Please return to your normal activities.”
A test of IUP’s emergency notification system at 10:00 a.m. Thursday will involve text messages, voice calls, and desktop alerts. See how to be added to the notification system, which is reserved for critical safety messages, including weather emergencies.
