UFAlert emergency notification test set for Wednesday

Most areas on campus with Cisco VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) telephones should receive Wednesday's audible message through the telephone's speaker and as a text message on the phone's screen. The audible message as well will be broadcast on selected outdoor locations, including the Plaza of the Americas, the North Lawn at the Reitz Student Union, Turlington Plaza and Broward recreation area.

To ensure that they will receive emergency text messages, students, faculty and staff should update their emergency contact information in MyUFL. Updates can be made at MyUFL by clicking on My Account and Update Emergency Contact. Everyone is encouraged to add the five-digit numbers "23177" or "63079" to his or her cell phone contact list and name it "UFAlert." This will assist in identifying future, authorized UF text messages on mobile devices.
