Bay College Main Campus, Escanaba and West Campus, Iron Mountain tested emergency notification systems on Wednesday, May 10th.
Prior to the test, messaging was sent out via email and text message to notify students, staff, and others that the emergency notification system would be tested.
Local law enforcement was notified prior to the testing. While a test, actual emergency notification protocols were used. Regular tests of emergency systems are important to ensure safety processes are working appropriately if there was ever a real event that would necessitate usage.
Dave Laur, Executive Director of Student Life and Campus Security, shared “We appreciate everyone in the community understanding the value of testing these systems. The college is always working to make the college a safe place for our students, faculty, staff, and community members that use campus facilities. The testing of our systems today is just one example of the safety efforts that the college has in place to prepare for potential safety concerns. “
