Important! New Campus Alert System
A loud siren will be heard throughout the
LMC
campus on Wednesday, May 6th at 11:00 a.m. This
will be a test of our recently installed
Campus Alert
System. The new system will be tested on the
first
Wednesday of every month at 11:00 a.m. and
the test
sound will last 30 seconds. There is nothing
you need
to do during a siren test.
In the event of an actual emergency or crisis
situation, the siren sound will continue for
three
minutes. Students and all campus personnel
will be
instructed to Shelter, Shut, and Listen.
