UCF Emergency Sirens to Be Tested Saturday Afternoon

A warning to students: Saturday afternoon the UCF police department will be testing their emergency campus sirens.

The four sirens placed around the campus are one of the primary methods the police could use to warn students and faculty of emergencies that may occur around the area.

The UCF police have confirmed that this test will happen around 4:00 p.m.

According to ucf.edu, the sirens will emit a loud tone followed by a message that will clearly inform everyone that there is no emergency and the tone is just a test.

In case of a real emergency, the message would inform students what the emergency is and what procedures they should follow.

So, please don’t be alarmed if you hear tomorrow’s test sirens.
