On December 6 at approximately 10 a.m., the UIS Police Department will be conducting a test of the Rave text message system in conjunction with the monthly tornado siren test. We will follow up the test with a brief survey (no longer than 12 questions) to help evaluate the effectiveness of the tornado sirens and the Rave text message system.
