UNC Asheville To Conduct Quarterly Test of Emergency Messaging System

This Thursday on May 21st, at 12:00 p.m. (noon), the University of North Carolina Asheville will conduct its quarterly test of the Bulldog Alert emergency messaging system.  

UNC Asheville uses this system to send emergency messages when a critical incident affects the campus community. The system also plays a significant role in providing consistent, reliable, and accurate follow-up communication throughout the crisis. 
 
The May 21 test will include the University’s outdoor alert system. This system may be used when there is an emergency on campus, a potentially dangerous condition, or an impending threat. 
 
The test will include the words, “This is a test of the UNC Asheville outdoor alert system,” followed by a five-second tone. When the test is completed, the words “This concludes the test of the UNC Asheville outdoor alert system” will be repeated.
