Due to high school graduation events on campus today that have brought in large numbers of visitors, UHDPS has rescheduled the audible test of the Emergency Mass Notification Siren System, which had been scheduled for today at 2:00pm. The test will be conducted on Friday, June 11th at 2:00pm.

On June 11th, although we will have UHDPS staff monitoring at various locations across campus during the test of the system, we would appreciate your input as well. Upon the completion of the test, you can go to www.uh.edu/police/siren_test.html  to describe your experience with the Siren System.

  The siren will be activated by UHDPS in the event of the following emergencies: 

• Severe weather conditions (Severe storms, tornado warning or other dangerous conditions)
• Active shooter or other acts of terrorism
• Major hazardous material incidents
• Other conditions that may require an emergency shelter in place action

In the event of an actual emergency, the PIER notification system will be used in concert with the siren system to disseminate further information to the U of H community. Only those persons that have current contact information in PeopleSoft will be able to receive these emergency messages. You can find instructions for updating your cell phone number, email address and other contact information at www.uh.edu/emergency.
