Colgate to Test Emergency Warning System Thursday

Sat, Feb 05, 2011

On Thursday, Feb. 10, at 12:15 p.m., Colgate Capus Safety Department will conduct a quarterly test of the university's emergency notification systems. These systems include the Colgate Alert (email and text), Informacast (a component of the campus voice over Internet protocol telephone system), and the outdoor public address system.

These three systems work together as the foundation of Colgate's comprehensive emergency notification plan, in order to provide timely warnings to the campus community in the event of an emergency that requires immediate and widespread notification.

The test message that you will receive and/or hear will say: “This is a test. This is a test of Colgate’s Emergency Alert system. This is
only a test.”

Please take this moment to be sure your personal contact information is current. Log on to the Colgate portal (http://portal.colgate.edu)
and click on the Colgate Alert link to review and/or update your contact information.

If you have questions about the testing of the emergency notification systems, call Campus Safety at 228-7333.
