Neighbors of the Homewood Campus:

Please distribute this notice to others living and working in the neighborhoods 
proximate to the Johns Hopkins University Homewood campus.

Homewood Campus Safety and Security will conduct a test of the campus 
siren/public address system and the Johns Hopkins Emergency Alerts text 
messaging system (only available to Johns Hopkins affiliates) at 1:00 p.m. on 
Tuesday, June 12, 2012  2012.

The test will be a full-scale simultaneous activation of both the siren/PA and 
emergency text system. The sirens will simultaneously sound the alert tone and 
then sequentially broadcast the voice message, announcing, "This is a test of 
the Homewood campus emergency warning system." Those Johns Hopkins affiliates 
who have subscribed to the text message alert system will receive a brief 
message that reads, "This is a test of the Homewood Emergency Alert text 
message system. There is NO EMERGENCY. Had there been an imminent threat 
additional information would follow." Shortly after the public address 
broadcast, an all-clear alert tone will sound, followed by the message saying, 
in part, "This has been a test of the Homewood campus emergency warning system. 
 Had there been an actual emergency, you would have been given specific 
instructions on what to do."

Because the public address system incorporates a silent self-test feature that 
will exercise each module on a weekly basis, Campus Safety and Security will 
schedule "live" tests only three times a year.  The main purpose of the 
exercise is to familiarize the Homewood community with the sound of the system. 
Except for these periodic tests, the system will be used only in the event of 
an incident or situation that presents a significant threat to the lives or 
safety of the campus community.

Thank you,
