Cal Poly Pomona will conduct a campus-wide test of the Alertus Desktop portion of its Safety Alert System on Friday, Oct. 27 at 8:30 a.m.

The Alertus Desktop notification system sends safety messages to university-owned computers equipped with Alertus software. It can reach a larger audience almost instantaneously, often faster than calls to campus phones or email.

Alertus is only used during emergencies and scheduled tests, never for routine messages.
