Photo Submitted

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas will conduct a test of its RazALERT (pronounced raise-alert) emergency message system after 2 pm Wednesday, Apr. 2. The test messages will be sent out by text, email and voice mail.

RazALERT administrators hope to receive feedback from the campus following this test in order to improve the emergency response. Anyone that does not receive a message, experiences a lengthy delay in receiving it or has another problem with the message should contact razalert@uark.edu.

The test should also serve as a reminder to all students, faculty and staff to update their RazALERT contact information in the ISIS and BASIS systems.  Students can use their ISIS account to designate up to six telephone numbers to receive voice messages, and one of those to receive text messages. Faculty and staff can designate up to three phone numbers in the BASIS system to receive either voice or text messages.
