UGAAlert test will be held on Feb. 6

In conjunction with the statewide severe weather drill, a full test of UGAAlert, the university’s emergency notification system, has been scheduled for Feb. 6 at 9 a.m.

Campus outdoor warning sirens will sound, and the UGA community should either pause to reflect upon where they would shelter in the event of an actual tornado warning or proceed to their building severe weather shelter locations to ensure that these locations are known by building occupants.

For a list of severe weather shelter areas, visit www.prepare.uga.edu. Prior to the test, students, faculty and staff should review their contact information (phone numbers and email addresses) in the UGAAlert system to ensure that their personal contact information and their specific preferences for being notified are accurate.
