CWU Alert: TEST

Central Washington University Emergency Management will test its RAVE Alert mass notification system on Thursday, October 19, during International ShakeOut Day.

More than 50 million people worldwide, and 1.25 million in Washington state alone, will participate in the earthquake safety drill. A RAVE Alert notification will be delivered at 10:19 a.m. Thursday via text, email, and phone call to everyone in the CWU community who has signed up for RAVE Alert.

The alert message is: "This is a TEST of Central Washington University's emergency alert system. This is only a TEST.”

ShakeOut Day started in California in 2008 and has since been organized in dozens of other states and countries. Official ShakeOut Regions require significant local or regional coordination, typically by an emergency management agency or an alliance of many organizations, such as CWU Emergency Management.

Washington state is home to five active volcanoes in the Cascade Range and is one of the most earthquake-prone regions in the U.S., with hundreds of earthquakes occurring every year.

Most of these earthquakes are so small they can only be detected by sensitive instruments. However, a number of damaging earthquakes have occurred here during the past 130 years, and we all must be prepared for a potentially catastrophic event.

The danger and risks of earthquakes can be reduced if people know what actions to take before, during, and after an earthquake. Earthquake safety tips are available on the shakeout.org website.

CWU is required to perform annual testing of our mass notification system under the federal Clery Act. If you have questions about International ShakeOut Day, email [email protected] or call 509-963-2959 during normal business hours.

The training is happening at the Kittitas County Fairgrounds/event center. You may intermittently hear fireworks in the vicinity of the area for the duration of the afternoon.

As the university police department, our mission is to partner with our communities to provide a safe and secure environment through education and enforcement. We strive to fulfill this mission every day. A trend we have noticed lately has been increased reports of personal and public property being disrespected and damaged. At the very least, this can vastly disrupt the learning environment for a student or group of students.

When students feel unsafe on campus, it drastically reduces their effectiveness with focusing on their academics. So, please remember to respect others' property, from the infrastructure of the CWU Campus to vehicles and bicycles used by our community.

In celebration of International Women’s Day we would like to recognize Officers Navarro and Williams. For the first time...
