GVPD to perform annual test of alert system

The Grand Valley State University Department of Public Safety will perform its annual test of the GVSUAlert! system on Friday, October 2. The test will coincide with the final outdoor warning siren test of the year, both occurring at noon.

GVPD will test the delivery of GVSUAlert! via text, voicemail, email, classroom computer override, outdoor warning sirens and annunciators, banner crawl on GVSU webpages, auto tweets to X or posts to Facebook, Laker Guardian notifications and auto updates to the emergency website.

GVSUAlert! is Grand Valley's emergency notification system. It provides timely warnings and safety notices to the GVSU community.

In the event of an emergency on campus, GVPD uses the GVSUAlert! system as the first and most accurate way to notify the community with up-to-date, confirmed information.
