***TEST MESSAGE*** Scheduled ACCGov Emergency Alert Email/SMS Text System Test with UGA Alert Test
This is a scheduled test of the Athens-Clarke County Unified Government's Emergency Alert email / SMS text notification system through the NIXLE. This test is conducted in conjunction with the scheduled test of the UGA Alert system today.
Two tests are conducted annually. One is conducted in the fall with the test of the UGA Alert system and one is conducted in February with an outdoor tornado warning siren test during the statewide tornado drill and Severe Weather Preparedness Week. There is no tornado warning siren test during the August testing.
An Emergency Alert is only issued through this system when there is a severe threat to public safety and the health of the entire community that has not been contained or controlled and when immediate action is required on the part of the recipient group(s), (e.g. chemical spills impacting public health, tornado warnings, active shooters, etc.).
