Please be aware that the UALR main campus will test a new Emergency Campus Mass Notification Alert System at 10 a.m. Friday, April 2.

Anyone on or near the main campus should hear a loud broadcast message: “Your attention please. This is a test of the Campus Mass Notification System. This is only a test.”

The message will be repeated twice.

The test initiates a new exterior public address system that can broadcast messages during emergencies such as a tornado, fire, bomb threat, or campus shooting. After the system is fully operational, it will also be linked to the City of Little Rock’s tornado sirens and will test every Wednesday with the city’s sirens.

On the main campus, speakers are located at the Jack Stephens Center, Parking Lot 5, and Stabler Hall.

The alert system has also been installed at the Bowen School of Law and the Benton campus. These campuses will have tests at a later date.

The Emergency Campus Mass Notification Alert System is part of UALR’s emergency preparedness program. If an emergency on campus occurs, this PA system will be part of a broader communications effort to provide notification to the campus community.
