 Subject: MASSMAIL - Illini-Alert Test on Oct. 18

The Urbana campus will test its emergency notification system on Oct. 18 
(Tuesday) at 10:00 a.m.

The test of the Illini-Alert system will use all of the communication 
capabilities of the new system.

* Email messages will be sent to all active faculty, staff and students 
with Illinois.edu addresses and to any secondary email addresses.

* Text messages will be sent to those people who have registered their 
cellphone numbers.

* The emergency Web alert system will trigger a pop-up box on all campus 
websites.

* A message will appear on the Illini-Alert Facebook account 
(www.facebook.com/illinialert).

* A message will be sent to the Illini-Alert Twitter account 
(http://twitter.com/illinialert).

The test does not require any response; evaluators will be able to 
monitor the speed and distribution rates of the messaging.

If you already have registered for the Illini-Alert system, you do not 
need to do anything.  To add or update your emergency contact 
information,  please visit emergency.illinois.edu.  For additional 
information regarding the Illini-Alert service, including technical
