Wake Forest’s Indoor Emergency Alert Systems will be tested from Monday, June 9, through Wednesday, June 11. Testing will occur between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. The tests are being conducted to ensure that the University’s indoor emergency notification systems are operating properly. Please note these testing dates on your calendar as a reminder.

During the testing, the indoor emergency alarm system will test alerts for: Shelter in Place, Tornado Alert, General Weather Alert, Evacuate Building, Active Shooter, Armed Intruder and All Clear. A “Testing Alert” message will be shared before testing messages begin.
