This message was sent to faculty, staff and students in Vancouver and the Okanagan.

May 10, 2021

At UBC, we have systems in place to support your safety and security. One of them is UBC Alert, the university’s mass notification system to send alerts to the community in urgent situations that pose an immediate safety or security risk, so that you can make informed decisions that prioritize your personal safety.

As part of our regular testing program, UBC Alert will be sending out a test notification to students, faculty and staff via a phone call and text message, as follows:

  • UBC Okanagan: Thursday, May 13
  • UBC Vancouver: Friday, May 14

The test will also run on our campus-wide digital signage systems.
