March 4 Briefs Excerpts: 

Test of Public Address System on Saturday, March 7 
On Saturday, March 7, a test of the Public Address system will be conducted in CEBAF Center at 12:30 p.m. If you are in a CEBAF Center conference room, office or other space at this time, don’t be alarmed to hear a voice coming out of the speaker on the Cisco IP phones (phone with screens on the front), or to have a live phone call automatically put on hold. The Cisco IP phones can be used to broadcast live announcements. When the PA system is activated, a tone will sound, followed immediately by the announcement. All phone calls underway in CEBAF Center will be automatically put on hold. As soon as the test is completed, you may access and resume the call. If you have any questions or concerns about the test, or if you hear this message in a conference room or in your office or other work space, you may report a successful test by contacting Deb Magaldi, x5102.

Tornado Warning Siren Test Set for Friday, March 6
