Emergency Siren System Go Back

Trevecca Nazarene University has completed installation of emergency notification sirens on campus.
In the event of an emergency situation on campus, the sirens will be initiated by security personnel.

What the emergency sirens mean and how they sound:

Please click the PLAY button on the individual players below to familiarize yourself with the FOUR different ring tones of the sirens. NOTE: These files are in .mp3 format. Most media players will support .mp3 files. If you have difficulty playing these files on your computer, please contact the ITS HelpDesk for assistance (ext. 1223 or 615-248-1223).

1. Severe Weather: In case of severe weather, such as a tornado warning, the Severe Weather ring tone will sound. A tornado warning means that a tornado has been spotted on the ground in Trevecca's area. Seek shelter immediately. If possible, go to the lowest level of the building you are in or seek shelter in an inner hallway, classroom, or closet. Remain there until the all clear ring tone is sounded.

2. Lockdown: In case of criminal activity on campus that threatens the safety of community members, the Lockdown ring tone will sound. Lock yourself in a building or room and remain there until the all clear ring tone is sounded.

3. All Clear: The All Clear ring tone will signal an end to the emergency. You may resume normal activity.

4. Test: The Test ring tone will be used to periodically test the emergency notification siren system. Notification to the campus will be provided in advance of any test of the system.
