Sirens

The University of Connecticut’s Alert Notification System includes outdoor sirens and public address speakers on the main campus at Storrs and at the Depot campus. These will be activated to alert persons who are not in buildings. Installation of sirens is currently in progress at all regional UConn campuses, as well at the School of Law campus. The Avery Point regional campus is served by a town siren in Groton.

In the event of an emergency, the University may sound the outdoor sirens, which may be accompanied by a voice message providing instructions. Should the outdoor sirens sound, please visit alert.uconn.edu as soon as possible for further information and/or instruction. Please note that, depending on the situation, the UConn community also may receive emails, voice mails, or cell phone text message alerts regarding the emergency.
