K-State Alerts test Oct. 16

Submitted by Division of Communications and Marketing

The university will test the K-State Alerts system at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16. 

The test will include emails, text messages, automated phone calls, push notifications through the Rave Guardian mobile app and messages on university websites and digital signs, Alertus beacons, Facebook and X.

As part of spring 2024 upgrades, all students, faculty and staff are automatically enrolled in K-State Alerts email and text messages.

K-State's goal is to keep you safe in case of an emergency and to relay time-critical information that immediately impacts our campuses, such as weather, campus operations, closures or other emergencies. Each message will start with "Urgent K-State Alert" followed by important information. 

Learn more about the alerts system and how you can customize your notifications on the K-State Alerts page

Following the test, a survey will be distributed to K-State Alerts users via email to evaluate its effectiveness.
