WolfAlert Active Threat Drill

February 18, 2025

All-clear: NC State WolfAlert drill – February 18, 2025 10:07 a.m.

This concludes the WolfAlert active threat drill.

Drill 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:

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

NC State frequently holds exercises to test university operational capabilities, and this drill was a continuation of those efforts. If you have questions about the drill or would like to report any issues experienced during the exercise, please email ncstateemmc@ncsu.edu.

This is a scheduled WolfAlert emergency drill. We ask that you participate in the campuswide active threat exercise. Please stop all class, work and business functions and identify key emergency evacuation and safety options based on your current location.

  • Where is the closest emergency exit?
  • Are you in a room or space that has a door that can be closed and locked?
  • In the space you’re in, where can you hide? 
  • Are there any movable items near you that can be used to barricade an entrance?
