WashU will test its emergency communication system at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 4, 2023. The test ensures WashU can effectively communicate with the community in an emergency. During the test, WashUAlerts will send emails to @wustl.edu addresses, voice calls to campus phones and cell phones and text messages to cell phones. Emails will come from WashUAlerts@wustl.edu and voice calls/text messages from 314-935-9000.
The drill will also include testing of WashU’s yellow Alertus beacons, Voice over Fire Alarm systems, cable TV overrides (Danforth Campus only), the WUSTL app and the WashU Safe app.
