College to test mass notification system on Monday, Nov. 2

SUNY New Paltz will perform an audible test of its mass notification speaker system on Monday, Nov. 2, at approximately 1 p.m.

Members of the New Paltz community may hear a series of loud tones followed by a voice indicating that this is only a TEST of the College’s emergency notification system. The speaker broadcast will be simulcast through certain buildings on campus via their fire alarm systems.

This system is only activated in accordance with the College’s Emergency Response Plan and at the discretion of select members of the campus’ Emergency Response Team.
