OU to Test Emergency Communication System on Aug. 31
The University of Oklahoma will conduct a university-wide test of its emergency communication system the morning of Wednesday, Aug. 31.
The alert system, also known as RAVE, allows the university to keep students, faculty and staff informed of critical and/or important information regarding OU’s campuses in the event of a weather or safety emergency. The RAVE system is capable of using numerous alert methods, such as text messages, email and/or phone calls.
Emergency contact information currently on record for all OU students, faculty and staff has been pre-loaded into RAVE.
