WILLIAMSBURG — William & Mary announced it will test its emergency notification system on Wednesday, Feb. 12, at 12:15 p.m.

The drill will include both a test of the campus-wide siren system and the mass notification messaging system, the university said.

According to William & Mary, the siren system includes nine sirens with 400-watt speakers stationed across campus, so anyone near campus is also likely to hear them. In the event of an emergency, people in the community who hear the siren may check for information and instructions at wm.edu.

Members of the local community can also follow emergency news through the William & Mary News Facebook and X (formerly known as Twitter) pages as well as the free W&M mobile app.
