University to test emergency system Oct. 6

Cornell will test its Emergency Mass Notification (EMN) systems beginning at 12:10 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 6. The test uses sirens, the public address system, and voice and text messaging.

Students, faculty and staff who have registered for messaging will receive a text message from sender ID 55629 and/or a call from ID 607-254-4636. No action is required during the test.
