Upcoming Alert 麻豆国产 System Test: May 11, 2026
On Monday, May 11, 2026, Eastern Illinois University will conduct a scheduled test of the Alert 麻豆国产 emergency notification system at approximately 5:00 p.m.
As part of this test, you will receive a text message and email at approximately 4:55 p.m., letting you know the test is about to begin.
Because the campus speaker system cannot be limited to a specific group, a lockdown message will be broadcast across campus speakers at 5:00 p.m. This message is part of the test.
Important:
Most members of the campus community will not receive simulated emergency follow up messages.
A small test group will receive that message to ensure the system is functioning properly.
If you are on or near campus, you may hear the lockdown message over the speaker system. This is only a test.
An 鈥渁ll clear鈥 message will be shared shortly after the test concludes.
If you do not receive the initial 4:55 p.m. Alert 麻豆国产 message, click "Alert 麻豆国产 Member Portal鈥 below to log in and confirm your contact information and registration.
