University to test emergency broadcast towers Friday morning
This blue light communication tower along Elm Drive with Whitman College in the background is a part of an emergency communication network on the Princeton campus.
Princeton University will conduct a test of the blue light tower outdoor notification system on campus at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 22.
Testing of the individual towers will be done by broadcasting a tone followed by a voice message: “Attention please. This is a test of the Princeton University emergency notification system. This is only a test.” The tone and voice message will repeat several times.
Members of the campus community should not take any action if they hear the test messages, which are transmitted on a test basis a few times each year.
Anyone having questions or concerns should contact the Department of Public Safety at (609) 258-1000.
