WolfAlert Emergency Drill

September 24, 2025

September 24, 2025 — 11:10 a.m.

This concludes the WolfAlert emergency drill.

Drill notifications were sent through all WolfAlert system methods as they would be in a real emergency situation. Notification methods are campus sirens, the On Campus 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 act quickly in the event of a fire, severe weather event, shelter-in-place announcement or any other type of emergency.

NC State regularly 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 campus-wide emergency preparedness exercise.

Please stop all class, work and business functions and answer the following questions:

  1. Where is the closest emergency exit? Locate the two exit paths nearest to you.
  2. Are your emergency contact information and local address updated in MyPack Portal? Students can update this information by selecting the “For Students” tab and then “Personal Information.” Employees can select the “Employee Self Service” tab and then “Personal Details.”
  3. Are you signed up to receive emergency WolfAlert texts on your cellphone? You can confirm or sign up via MyPack Portal.

An all-clear announcement will be made shortly. Visit ncsu.edu for updates and more information.
