UT Tyler will conduct the monthly test of its outdoor warning system at about 2:30 p.m. Friday, May 1, 2009. The test will begin with a voice message, followed by a series of tones, and conclude with another voice message.
The outdoor warning system allows for both tone and voice alerts to the campus and will be activated whenever there is an immediate danger to the UT Tyler campus. When the sirens are activated, people are encouraged not to call the University Police Department, but to move to a safe place and obtain further information which will be released by text and e-mail messages, the University web site, and the media.
The test will last for approximately two minutes. In the event the National Weather Service issues watches or warnings for Smith County during the time period of the test, the system will not be tested.
