Florida Atlantic University is set to conduct a comprehensive test of its emergency alert system, which will include sounding sirens across multiple campuses in Florida. This scheduled test will take place on Friday, April 11, at 2 p.m., with sirens activated at the Boca Raton campus, the John D. MacArthur Campus in Jupiter, and the FAU Harbor Branch Oceanic Institute in Fort Pierce.
In addition to the sirens, the university plans to test various components of its emergency communication system. This will involve alerts via telephone, text messaging, digital signage spread throughout the campuses, and notifications through the FAU Owl Ready app. These measures are part of FAU’s commitment to ensuring effective and prompt communication in case of an actual emergency.
For those interested in further details regarding the emergency system test, additional information is available online.
By preparing for potential emergencies through these tests, FAU aims to enhance safety and response readiness across its campuses.
