SHSU To Conduct Annual KatSafe Test

Sept. 14, 2015
SHSU Media Contact: Julia May

Sam Houston State University will conduct a full test of its KatSafe mass notification system—including siren, email, voice and text messaging, social media, and the desktop notification system—Tuesday, Sept. 15, at 10:55 a.m.

It is not necessary to take any special action and members of the university community should continue regular activities at the time of the test.

The university’s multifaceted KatSafe system allows campus officials to quickly communicate vital information during emergency situations. Various optional components are used for messaging, depending upon the severity of the situation.

With the start of the academic year, members of the SHSU community are reminded to make sure your current contact information is in the KatSafe system. Verification of correct information and updates can be made by going through SamWeb.
