OHIO’s emergency communications systems to undergo routine testing Friday, Sept. 6

Ohio University's Athens, Chillicothe, Eastern, Lancaster, Southern and Zanesville campuses will collectively test several emergency communication systems at approximately noon on Friday, September 6, 2024.

The University periodically tests its emergency communications systems, including through text messaging, email, outdoor notification broadcasts (Athens Campus only), digital signage and/or phone to ensure the notifications are working properly and to help familiarize its campus communities with how they will operate in an emergency.
