Dear campus community member:

The Urbana campus will test its Illini-Alert emergency notification system at 10:05 a.m. on Tuesday, March 3, 2015.

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

• Email messages will be sent to all active faculty and staff members and students with illinois.edu addresses and to any secondary email addresses that have been registered at http://emergency.illinois.edu.
• 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 (http://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.

Please visit http://emergency.illinois.edu to add or update your cell phone number(s) and email address(es).  Please visit http://cites.illinois.edu/illinialert for additional information and technical support.

Sincerely,

Lieutenant Todd Short
University of Illinois Police Department
