The University of Delaware will conduct a test of UD Alert, the University’s emergency notification system this month.

The UD Alert test, beginning at 1 p.m., Friday, Sept. 27, will include email and text messages and is designed to ensure that members of the University community can receive information during a campus crisis or emergency.

Individuals do not need to take any action once they become aware of the test.

All University community members should visit the University’s UD Alert website to learn more about the emergency notification system. The website also has a helpful FAQ section and provides information on updating contact information. All members of the UD community are encouraged to take a moment to ensure that they have registered for UD Alert, which is the primary means of notifying the campus community about an imminent threat or emergency situation.

Members of the University community are also advised to take advantage of the free Live Safe App. Learn more about the app at the University's Live Safe website
