Messages can be broadcast to about 95 campus buildings in Seattle. \"Reader boards\" also are strategically located in about 45 buildings and garages.\n\nIf you are in a building with fire alarm speakers you can expect to hear chimes, horns or a voice announcement during the test. If you are in a building with a message or reader board, you can expect to see a message scrolling across the digital board. In either case you may see flashing emergency lights.\n\nThe annual test is designed to ensure that the system operates as expected and that the proper messages and audible queues are triggered.\n\n- More about UW Alert\n\n- Sign up for UW Alert\n\n- Emergency phones and communication systems\n\n- Learn about UW emergency communications\n\n- Campus safety and emergency resources",
