Systemwide test scheduled
The University of New Mexico is planning an exercise of its Campus Warning Siren System on Monday, Oct. 12. At 11:02 a.m., the sirens will be sounded for approximately one minute. There will be a one-minute pause of the sirens, followed by an "all clear" siren. The “all clear” siren will sound for approximately one minute.
The instruction to people on campus during an actual activation, are to seek immediate shelter and look for additional information. This additional information could come through the UNM TextMe Alert System, e-mail, the UNM web page and/or local media.
Anyone who would like to sign up for the UNM's emergency alert system can do so at: UNM TextMe.
UNM will test this system once each semester. The last exercise of this system was during the spring semester on July 6, 2009.
