The systems will not be used for routine communications.

TBoth Connect 5 and Web systems will be tested biannually.

When an incident occurs, updates can be posted on the Albany State University home webpage at http://www.asurams.edu or the ASU PD Facebook page at ASU PD.

Outdoor Public Announcement (PA)/
Tornado Siren Speaker System

This system is designed to alert the University Community of emergencies through sirens and prescribed messages. These emergencies include Tornado Warnings, Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, and other severe incidents in which immediate forewarning is required. This system is designed to reach the outdoor areas of campus. The Albany State University Dispatch Center is the coordination center for siren activation for Albany State University. All dispatchers have the authority to activate warning systems. (Connect 5 and Sirens) The dispatcher on duty is also responsible for notifying the Albany 911 Center of warning siren activation. Albany State University’s Radium Springs, East campus outdoor sirens are manually activated whereas the outdoor sirens on the Gillionville, West campus are connected to the City of Albany therefore there will be a slight delay in activation.

Indoor (Remote Activated) Building Public Address System

This system allows  ASU PD or OEM to remotely activate select buildings’ public address systems throughout campus (all-building or floor-specific) and provide detailed information and emergency response guidance to the building occupants. This system(s) is tested once every semester.

Police Vehicle Public Address (PA) System

Select police vehicles are outfitted with loud speaker systems that could be used in localized emergencies and to disseminate location or event specific information.

All indoor/outdoor siren will be tested monthly.
