UAH will conduct a test of the UAlert Notification System on Wednesday, August 31, 2016, at 10:00 a.m.  The test will allow UAH to evaluate the system and allow campus users to become accustomed to receiving alert messages from UAH.

UAlert is a communications solution that allows the University to quickly disseminate urgent messages through multiple communication methods including:

• Voice messages to mobile, home, and office phones
• Text messages to mobile phones
• Email messages
• UAH and UAH Police Facebook pages
• UAH (@UAHuntsville) and UAH UAlert (@UAH_UAlert) Twitter Feeds
• RSS Feed (http://rss.blackboardconnect.com/182926/uahuntsville/feed.xml)
• Indoor voice notification (in buildings with voice-capable notification systems)
• Outdoor “Giant Voice” speaker arrays
