Ithaca College Will Test Campus Sirens on Thursday

Part of regular testing of campus-wide emergency alert systems.

Ithaca College will conduct a regular test of its Outdoor Warning System during the noon hour on Thursday, Sept. 19. The college tests the system periodically to increase awareness of it among the campus community and to ensure that it is working properly.

Local residents may hear a siren tone and loudspeaker message saying that this is just a test. There is no need to take any action in response.

A test of the IC Alert Emergency Notification System-which uses voice calls, emails, texts, and digital signage to deliver emergency messages to students, faculty, and staff-will also be conducted at the same time.
