Western Illinois University will be testing their new emergency alert system tomorrow at nine-fifty A.M. This system will alert students and faculty of emergency situations, such as severe weather or safety threats. Members of Western Illinois can choose to be alerted in many different ways. The system can send alerts via email, home phones, or text messaging. Everyone is advised to sign up for this system and can do so through Western's home page.Senior elementary education major Amy Sauerwein thinks this system is a great idea. She said "Universities should have thought of this idea a long time ago. Maybe now we can prevent terrible things from happening, such as the tragedy at Virginia Tech last year."
