Grand Valley State University is planning a test of its emergency notification system Friday, March 4 at noon.
The test will include GVSUAlert! emergency messaging, emergency website updating and the outdoor warning system. There is no action required from those receiving the alert and university operations will continue as normal.
If severe weather is expected at the time of the test, it will be postponed until the following day.
The Office of Emergency Management will send out a message through GVSUAlert! to all students, faculty and staff. A test message will also be heard on the university’s outdoor warning system on the Allendale Campus.
GVSUAlert! emergency notifications are automatically delivered to university email addresses. To receive text or voice messaging alerts, sign up by visiting www.gvsu.edu/gvsualert.
The system is designed to quickly notify the campus community of important information during emergency incidents. The test is part of a continuing effort to evaluate and improve the university's ability to provide timely and effective emergency notification warnings during a campus emergency.
