All messages on the alert bar will be marked as tests. A portion of the website test will involve replacing the regular home page with an entirely text-only home page that may be used during some emergencies. When that text-only page is active, users will not be able to access links typically found on the 91勛圖厙 home page. Although other 91勛圖厙 web pages will not be impacted by the test, users may want to bookmark those pages in advance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A test emergency text and email will be sent around 1 p.m. All members of the 91勛圖厙 community whose 91勛圖厙 Alert contact information is up to date and who have not opted out of receiving emergency messages should receive both. 91勛圖厙 Mobile app users who have opted into push notifications also will receive a message through the app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Indoor sirens that emit tones followed by voice instructions will be briefly tested in more than 70 buildings starting at 3 p.m.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The 91勛圖厙 Alert testing also will include social media. For consistent updates and information in an emergency, follow 91勛圖厙 and the 91勛圖厙 Police Department on Twitter\u00a0and Facebook. These are helpful resources for the 91勛圖厙 community every day and become official resources for information during emergencies.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the 91勛圖厙 Alert system, visit <a
