MTSU tested its tornado sirens on campus and at the Miller Coliseum Complex Wednesday, July 11, at 11:15 a.m. in a brief, routine test of the system. 

No safety actions were required.

MTSU notifies the campus and surrounding neighborhoods before its routine siren tests each month. Tests are conducted on alternating Tuesdays and Wednesdays to minimize distractions for the campus and for neighbors.

Members of the campus community can prepare for emergency weather situations anytime by checking MTSU’s list of recommended shelter locations at http://tinyurl.com/MTSUTornadoShelters.

Remember that, in the event of a weather emergency, all students, faculty and staff automatically receive a Rave alert at their MTSU email addresses. If you’re not already receiving text and/or voice alerts too, visit www.mtsunews.com/weather and use the “click here and log in” link to make those notification changes.
