Mock SIP Drill on Feb 29

            To start the drill, the siren will sound on the WVSU campus, followed by a brief message explaining that this is just a drill and not an emergency situation.  Upon hearing the siren, students, faculty, staff and visitors should proceed to the nearest designated Shelter-in-Place location.  Once assembled, they will receive information on the drill and what could be expected in the event of an actual emergency.  The event will last approximately half-an-hour.

            The University will also activate its Wide Area Rapid Network (WARN) system which sends alerts to students, faculty and staff via e-mail, phone or text messages.
