Test of Emergency Message System – POSTPONED to May 19
The UW-Whitewater Police Department, in coordination with ICIT, will conduct a test of the Emergency Message System starting at 1 p.m. Thursday, May 19, because of recent updates to the system. This test, previously announced as taking place on May 18, has been postponed one day.
Begin Test, Tornado Warning and Completed messages will be heard over fire alarm panels and VOIP phones, and sent via InformaCast and text message alerts. No sounding of the tornado sirens will occur with this test. Some of the messages might be heard more than once as ICIT makes updates to the system.
