On February 8th, 2008, UGA conducted a test of UGAAlert in conjunction with annual Severe Weather Drill.  This test simulated sending out an emergency message.  A brief message stating that a test of the UGAAlert system was being conducted was sent out to all users in the system.  The message  included notifications via voice phone calls to offices and cell phones, e-mail messages, and SMS text messages.  Users were contacted through every method listed in their account.

The previous test of UGAAlert was conducted on Sept. 26, 2007.
