Siren testing this Thursday, Dec. 30 at Syracuse University

Tuesday, December 28, 2010, By News Staff

On Thursday, Dec. 30, Syracuse University will test its North and South Campus outdoor sirens. Installed as part of the Orange Alert emergency notification system, the sirens will be tested between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Thursday, during which time a seven-second alarm will sound at different intervals as the testing is performed.  The siren sound will likely be audible in the University-area communities.   

More information about the siren system and the Orange Alert emergency notification system is available at the Department of Public Safety’s “Orange Alert Siren System” FAQ page.
