MTSU plans to test its tornado sirens on campus and at the Miller Coliseum Complex Wednesday, Sept. 8, at 11:15 a.m., barring inclement weather conditions.

This will be another brief, routine test of the university’s system. No safety actions will be required.

If thunderstorms are in the area as forecast around the time of Wednesday’s scheduled testing, however, the test will be canceled and conducted as usual next month.

MTSU notifies the campus and surrounding neighborhoods before these tests each month. Tests are conducted on alternating Tuesdays and Wednesdays to minimize distractions for classes and 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 http://mtsunews.com/weather and use the “click here and log in” link to make those notification changes.
