The University will test the emergency sirens and text messages through its Alert Carolina system Tuesday.

The sirens are tested every semester to make sure all the equipment works.  During the test, people outside on or near campus will likely hear the sirens between noon and 1:00 p.m.

Sirens sound for major emergencies or an immediate safety or health hazard.  No action is required during the test, but information for what to do is available by clicking here.
