Fort Worth, TX October 19, 2012
TCU will test its mass notification system, known as TCU Alert, as well as its “light page” in late October. The light page is a simplified version of www.tcu.edu, designed to manage a larger volume of traffic.
These tests are conducted a couple of times each year to ensure the system works properly and that all audiences are comfortable with the system. The test will be sent to all email addresses, cell phones and land lines listed in the system, which pulls data from my.tcu.edu, at the same time. Because the test will simulate what will happen in an emergency situation, all methods will be sent at once, so recipients may receive an email at the same time as they receive a call and text. Recipients should reply to confirm receipt through one of the methods, otherwise the recipient will continue to get messages.
The TCU community may make changes/additions/deletions to their contact information throughout the month of October.
