Announcements


 

Upgrades to campus fire alarm systems will occur throughout the semester break period (Dec. 21 through Jan. 15).  These upgrades will include replacement of the PC-based graphical command center at Public Safety and programming of voice-communication fire alarm systems to support the university’s new Mass Notification capabilities. SimplexGrinnell fire alarm technicians will also conduct testing of the voice communication/mass notification network, which will include sounding the new emergency notification tone and selected messages.  A pre-announcement, alerting you to the impending test, will be provided before the test is conducted.  Additional information on the Mass Notification system will be provided in January 2010.
