Student Issue for December 5, 2018

Special Announcement

Monthly Siren Test at Noon

VCU will conduct the final monthly siren test of 2018 on Dec. 5 at noon. Monthly siren tests are conducted on the first Wednesday of each month. This test includes sirens installed on the Monroe Park and MCV campuses and a new siren at VCU Police headquarters, located at 224 E. Broad St. The additional siren at VCUPD headquarters means VCU community members downtown will hear the signal more clearly than when the sirens were only located on each campus. The test involves a one-minute siren activation using a steady or even tone. In an actual life-threatening emergency, the sirens will be activated to warn people external to VCU facilities that there is an immediate risk to the area. There is no "all clear" siren as that information is distributed via the other VCU Alert technologies.
