天美影院Alert active threat communication test Jan. 22, 1:22 p.m.
UW鈥檚 Seattle campus will run a test of the 天美影院Alert system on Jan. 22, 1:22 p.m. in order to highlight for students, faculty and staff how they would be informed (and what to do) in the event of an active shooter attack on the campus.
The test will include a 天美影院Alert message sent via text and email as well as a test of the UW’s outdoor alert system (the blue towers located around campus). The message will clearly read TEST and include prompts for what actions to take during an actual emergency 鈥� run, hide, fight 鈥� and where to get additional information. The test will not include any simulations out around campus 鈥� no gunshots, sirens or simulated victims.
The experience will be similar to the 天美影院Alert Great ShakeOut test that was conducted on Oct. 16. In Seattle, the drill is scheduled for Jan. 22. At 天美影院Tacoma, the active threat drill is on April 16. 天美影院Bothell’s drill is scheduled for March 12.
We know headlines and drills can be stressful for some. The test is an important step in being ready for something we hope never happens.
