Outdoor Alert Horn Test October 23

The Emergency Response Planning Group and University Police will conduct a test of the institution’s outdoor emergency alert horn at 1:30 p.m. today, October 23.

People who are outdoors during the test will hear a series of three loud 90-second horn blasts emanating from the central heating plant. Please note: the horn is primarily intended to be audible at outdoor locations on campus—not inside buildings.

In a real emergency, the horn will sound for five full minutes. If a real emergency alert is signaled, immediately seek shelter and await further instructions communicated via Buffalo State’s emergency text messaging system, e-mail, the Buffalo State home page, or direct instructions from University Police.
