Georgia observes Severe Weather Awareness Week from February 5-9. Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 9 a.m. marks a critical event during the week—UGA will conduct a test of the UGA Alert emergency notification system in conjunction with the statewide tornado drill.

The UGA Alert test includes voice phone calls, text messages, desktop alerts, alerts through the UGA Safe and UGA mobile apps, notices on the UGA Emergency homepage and the main UGA homepage, outdoor warning sirens, and messages on certain digital signs on campus. All UGA students and staff are encouraged to verify and update their information in the UGA Alert emergency notification system.
