DANBURY, CONN. — Western Connecticut State University will test its Emergency Notification System (MIR3) on Monday, Nov. 18, 2013, before noon. Those who have previously registered to receive emergency notices, including weather-related closure information, through MIR3 will receive a test message via voice, text message or email to the devices (phones and PCs) they specified on their registration. This will be a test only – not an actual emergency.

Those who have not signed up to receive WCSU’s emergency messages may “Opt In” to MIR3 at: https://www.wcsu.edu/ens/ at any time.

As we enter the snow season, WCSU will use MIR3 to announce any early dismissals, campus closings, and/or opening delays created by weather conditions. We will also post this information on the university’s homepage (www.wcsu.edu) as “Emergency/Weather” alerts, place it on the WCSU “snowline” (203-837-9377), and post it on www.ctweather.com. We will endeavor to announce any early dismissal decision two hours prior to closure time and will announce any campus closure or delay decision by 5 a.m.
