UNC will test its emergency sirens Thursday between noon and one o’clock in the afternoon as a part of a verification process to ensure newly installed equipment and software are working properly.

You will be able to hear the sirens outdoors near campus or downtown. The emergency sirens located at the Friday Center and near the Giles Horney Building will also be heard.

When the testing is complete a different siren tone and voice message will play, “All clear. Resume regular activities.”

No action is required during the test.
