Public Safety to Conduct Test 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 conduct testing of pre-recorded emergency messages at the North Campus only.

Testing of the emergency messages will take place on Monday, August 21, 2023 after 9 p.m. 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 two (2) hours.

In an effort to minimize the disruption to campus and community members, it is recommended that no activity take place after 9 p.m. and that community members leave 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 ext. 5550.
