To All,
To the Campus Community: RE: Two Campus Tests Pertaining to Electrical Emergencies In order to prepare for a difficult summer of campus electricity curtailments caused by the state's energy crisis, two different tests are planned for this week. LOAD REDUCTION TEST: Thursday, May 24, 2001, 1:00pm - 2:30pm Our campus will participate in a UC systemwide test of electric load reduction capability. Please notify occupants of your building to turn off un-needed electrical equipment (lights, computer monitors,? computers, printers, copy machines, water coolers, etc.) between the hours of 1:00pm and 2:30pm on Thursday, May 24, 2001. The purpose of the test is to determine how much power the campus can save while employees continue to do their normal work. Therefore, only unneeded equipment should be shut off. PP-CS will be implementing a "rolling" style curtailment of heating and ventilating equipment in non-laboratory buildings during the test period. EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION TEST: Friday, May 25, 2001, 12:30pm The campus emergency public address system was developed for use during earthquakes, fires, and other disasters.? This summer it will be used to notify the campus community of impending power blackouts. Please notify occupants of your building that on? Friday, May 25, 2001, the emergency siren and public address system will be activated at 12:30 pm. Upon hearing the signal, NO ACTION is required by the campus community. This is just a test of the ability of people to hear the system. It is not a load reduction test.
