š¢ UK Alert System Test this Wednesday!
On Wednesday, March 4, the University of Kentucky Police Department will conduct a university-wide test of the UK Alert emergency notification system at 10 a.m. Shortly after, at 10:07 a.m., we will also participate in the statewide tornado drill led by the National Weather Service.
To ensure you receive these notifications and stay informed during a real emergency, please take a moment to review your settings:
š¹ Faculty & Staff: You must download and register in the SafeZone app to receive alerts via phone call or text. Employees who haven't registered in the app will only receive email alerts.
š¹Students: Ensure your current cell phone number is updated in myUK to automatically receive text and phone alerts.
š¹Parents & Community: Want to stay in the loop? Sign up for text alerts by texting āUKY-FAMILYā or āUKY-COMMUNITYā to 59713.
What to expect during the test:
Youāll see and hear the alert across multiple platforms, including text, email, indoor/outdoor speakers, and digital signage. If a real emergency occurs that morning, the test will be rescheduled.
