As part of the university’s larger emergency preparedness program, Western’s Communications and Public Affairs Department will be testing its emergency messaging system at 10 a.m. today on digital screens located throughout various buildings on campus.
In the event of an actual emergency, these screens would revert to a red screen and detail the type of emergency occurring along with subsequent information and/or instructions. In these situations, the homepage of the university’s website, uwo.ca, would also offer greater detail.
