The University of Connecticut will test its emergency notification and alerting system, UConnALERT, on Tuesday, September 14, 2021, at 12:25 p.m., on all campuses.<\/p>\n
The test involves multiple messaging platforms. A notice will be posted on the UConn Alert website (alert.uconn.edu<\/a>); an email will be sent to all students, faculty, and staff; and posts will appear on the University\u2019s Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> accounts.<\/p>\n In addition, cell phone numbers registered with the UConnALERT system will receive text messages. On the Storrs campus only, outdoor sirens will be tested with an audible tone.<\/p>\n This test includes emergency notifications at UConn Health in addition to the Storrs and regional campuses.<\/p>\n In an actual emergency, information will be updated regularly through the UConn Alert website at alert.uconn.edu.<\/p>\n Students, faculty, and staff should visit this site to register for cell phone text alerts, update their contact information, and obtain information related to emergency procedures and campus safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" UConn will conduct its Fall 2021 emergency alert system test on September 14<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":123,"featured_media":113685,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","wds_primary_category":0,"wds_primary_series":0,"wds_primary_attribution":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2235,2233],"tags":[],"magazine-issues":[],"coauthors":[2113],"class_list":["post-176938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-today-homepage","category-university-news"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-18 23:35:39","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/users\/123"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176938"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176938\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":177045,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176938\/revisions\/177045"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media\/113685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176938"},{"taxonomy":"magazine-issue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/magazine-issues?post=176938"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=176938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
