[On_site_list] JLab to Test Public Address System after 5:30pm Today

[deborah magaldi]

At some point this evening -- after 5:30 p.m. -- Emergency Management 
Team staff will conduct the monthly test of Jefferson Lab’s Public 
Address (PA) System -- the live audible announcement feature available 
through the lab’s Cisco phones.

No actions are required or expected from members of the lab community in 
conjunction with this test.

The Public Address System may be used to notify members of the lab 
community, who are indoors, of critical emergency situations requiring 
immediate action, such as taking cover for a tornado warning.

The test is conducted after normal business hours because the PA tool is 
potentially disruptive when it is activated: It interrupts any 
in-progress call on a Cisco phone. Active calls are automatically put on 
“hold.”As soon as the PA announcement has ended, the JLab person may 
re-activate the call.

The test announcement won’t last more than 30 seconds, and will clearly 
state that it is a test of the system.

Members of the lab community with feedback or observations regarding 
tests of the PA system, or regarding emergency communications in 
general, are asked to email their input to Jefferson Lab's Emergency 
Manager, Tina Menefee, at emergmgr at jlab.org.

Regards,
