NC State WolfAlert Test

March 28, 2024

1:25 p.m. on March 28, 2024

This concludes NC State’s test of all WolfAlert emergency notification channels.

Test notifications and all-clear messages were sent through all WolfAlert system methods as they would be in a real emergency situation. Notification methods are campus sirens, the OnCampus App, the NC State homepage, text messaging, email, Alertus Desktop, digital billboard screens, and the social media accounts Facebook and X.

It is the responsibility of every member of the Wolfpack to prepare for emergency events and to know what to do to ensure the safety of ourselves and one another. Here are a few things you can do to be ready for any emergency:

  • Get informed: Review the university’s emergency preparedness information and think through situations you may face as an individual on and off campus.
  • Make a plan: Locate the emergency exits in the areas you frequent on campus and sign up for WolfAlerts if you haven’t already.
  • Take action: Be ready to take action in the event of a fire, severe weather, shelter-in-place announcement, or any other type of emergency.

NC State regularly tests emergency protocols and communication channels to assess the university’s operational capabilities. If you have questions about the test or would like to report any issues experienced during the emergency communications test, please email ncstateemmc@ncsu.edu.
