Public Safety to Continue Testing of Emergency Messages

Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber take the safety of our community seriously. This includes the ability to notify community members of an emergency.

Due to some recent upgrades, it is necessary to continue testing of pre-recorded emergency messages at the North Campus only.

Testing of the emergency messages will take place on Thursday, August 24 and Friday, August 25, including residence. Testing will require the playing of several pre-recorded emergency messages several times to ensure full coverage of the system. It is anticipated that testing will take approximately three (3) hours.

In an effort to minimize the disruption to campus and community members, testing will take place between 6 to 9 p.m. both evenings. Community members are asked to avoid being on campus where possible. An announcement will be made via the PA prior to the start of the testing and once the testing is complete.

Questions or concerns can be directed to Kathy Branton, manager Business Continuity and Emergency Management at kathy.branton@humber or extension 5550.
