Dear Bruin Community:

Please be aware that UCLA will be testing the BruinWalk Outdoor Warning Speakers on Monday, August 4th at 10:00 AM.

The audible tests will occur periodically as Digital & Technology Solutions (DTS) tests the system. No actions are required; you may hear a warning tone followed by spoken instructions (“This is a test of the UCLA emergency notification system; this is only a test; please disregard; this is only a test; No action required.”).

There is no current emergency on the UCLA Westwood campus; this is only a test. In the event an outdoor warning speaker or siren is actually needed in an emergency situation, the directions will be made clear on the announcement, as well as through several other mediums: in BruinALERT text messages and emails, on Bruins Safe Online, and through representatives on campus who will assist with whatever is required.

To learn more about the testing, follow UCLA PD social media accounts: Instagram, Facebook, and X. 

Sincerely,

Steve Lurie
Associate Vice Chancellor
Office of Campus & Community Safety
