Mississippi State University will conduct a routine test of the Maroon Alert Emergency Notification System at noon Friday [Aug 25].

This test is vital in ensuring the university can share important information with faculty, staff, students and the community in a timely manner. This test will include notifications to mobile devices, university desktops, digital signage, social media, university email accounts and the emergency website.

The Maroon Alert test message will include instructions for acknowledging the message. This will allow the university to know how you received the message and will halt further attempts to reach you.

Follow @MaroonAlert on Twitter for important advisory information and emergency updates.

Instructions for downloading and installing the Everbridge app to your mobile device can be found at www.emergency.msstate.edu/app.
