We test the sirens each semester to remind everyone what to do if they hear them go off for a real emergency and to make sure the equipment works properly.  We just wanted to let you know about the test in case you hear the sirens.  You don&#8217;t need to take any action.<br \/>\nThe sirens will only sound during a life-threatening emergency such as an armed and dangerous person on or near campus, a major chemical spill or hazard, or a tornado sighting. The sirens also broadcast brief public address announcements.<\/p>\n<p>In a real emergency, the sirens will sound a second time with a different tone when authorities determine the situation is \u00e2\u20ac\u0153All clear. Resume regular activities.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d UNC police will use the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153all clear\u00e2\u20ac\u009d signal during Tuesday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s test.<\/p>\n<p>People outside on or near campus, including downtown Chapel Hill, may hear the sirens.
