ALERT: VCU Emergency Management will conduct a full test of the emergency alert system Wednesday, Sept. 9, at noon.
This test includes activation of outdoor sirens on both the Monroe Park Campus and MCV Campus, and Alertus boxes and signage across both campuses.
VCU Alert subscribers will receive a text message and email 10 minutes before, at the beginning of and the conclusion of the test.
Beyond the need to check its status, VCU conducts a bi-annual test of the full VCU Alert system to educate our community on the types of alerts they would receive in a real emergency situation.
It is a good idea to learn more about the types of alerting technology now, not later. Do so by visiting
alert.vcu.edu.
