Emergency communications to be TESTED at 10 a.m. Wednesday?it?s only a test!

At 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 21, we will test our emergency notification system. This will be a comprehensive test that includes the following:

  • Red Alert notifications sent by phone, text and email. The phone calls and texts will come from 817-735-2210.
  • All Alert Beacons on campus will be tested. For a short period of time – less than one minute – expect them to flash, emit a tone and display a TEST message.
  • There will be a TEST emergency banner on the UNTHSC website.
  • TEST posts will appear on our institutional Facebook and Twitter pages.

Please do not call UNTHSC Police upon receiving a test message. Unnecessary calls could delay police response to an actual emergency.

Also, remember to update your Red Alert contact information before the test by logging in to MyHSC.  Red Alert contact information is on the upper right of the home page after you log in.

If you have any questions about the emergency notification test, or if you experience any issue with receiving the test message, please contact the UNTHSC Safety Office.
