Virginia Commonwealth University today will put its emergency communications systems to the test, including sirens, text messages and classroom alerts.
For Richmond residents, the most apparent sign of the testing will involve 10 sirens sounding at noon throughout the Monroe Park and MCV campuses.
The sirens will sound a speedy up-and-down wail for three minutes. Then, after a one-minute pause, the sirens will sound a steady wail for one-minute to signal “all clear” and conclude the test.
The full tests of VCU's emergency communication systems are conducted near the beginning of each semester. Limited monthly checks are also conducted.
