Sacramento State will test its emergency response and notification system between 8 a.m.-noon, Thursday, March 5.
The Emergency Notification System, known as ENS, automatically notifies faculty, staff and students of emergencies and contingencies on campus through text alerts, voice mail alerts and e-mail messaging. During the drill, faculty, staff and students who have signed up to receive text messages will receive an exercise text message.
In the event of an actual emergency, Public Safety may send a pre-written text message, for a variety of emergency scenarios. A follow-up e-mail can be sent thereafter with more specific details of the event and safety procedures and an all-clear message sent upon incident resolution. The community will also be alerted to visit the campus’ homepage, www.csus.edu, for more information.
To sign up for ENS, visit www.csus.edu/ens. Campus members who sign up by 5 p.m., Wednesday, March 4 may receive the test message on their cell phone. For more information on the ENS test, contact 278-1600.
