Sirens and mass texts nothing to worry about

From staff reports

Sirens will blare at precisely 12:05 p.m. Wednesday on the WSU campus.

The Office of Emergency Management will conduct its spring semester test of the CougAlert! system, which disseminates timely information during emergencies and other situations that might disrupt normal operations.

All subscribed students, faculty and staff associated with the Pullman campus will receive a text message, a phone call, and an email which will be clearly identified as a test. This test will also include posts from the @WSUAlert Twitter account and the outdoor warning sirens on campus.

Students, faculty, and staff can subscribe to CougAlert! by updating their contact information on ZZUSIS. More information is available at alert.wsu.edu.
