Appalachian State University will conduct a full-scale emergency exercise from noon to 5 p.m. on Friday, March 30.
The universitys emergency website www.appstatealert.com will post updates about the training exercise. The campus and local communities should be aware this is only a test.
Traffic along Rivers Street may be limited at times during the exercise, and one or more buildings may be involved in the exercise. Area residents and drivers will likely see law enforcement and emergency response vehicles along Rivers Street.
The training exercise will involve more than 100 participants, including those from Boone Fire Department, Watauga Emergency Medical Services, Watauga County Rescue Squad, Watauga Medical Center, local law enforcement agencies, and a medevac helicopter.
Participants will wear either a colored vest or arm band.
The annual exercise is designed to test response and communication during an emergency.
This is the fourth full-scale emergency exercise conducted at Appalachian. Prior training exercises simulated a shooter/hostage situation, explosive device scenario and a flood that affected campus operations.

Division of Student Development
Student development at Appalachian State University integrates both in-class and out-of-class experiences of students. These educational efforts are directed at developing both intellect and character of students. To accomplish this, the University makes available a wide range of educational experiences through programs and activities that complement and support the academic experience in the classroom. Although the primary focus of these activities is to advance student learning, they also provide needed services, support, and recreational opportunities to help students meet the challenges of college and to enhance the quality of student life. The Division of Student Development has been organized to help accomplish these aspects of the Universitys mission. Student life is the focus of the programs and activities of the Division.
Please note that the ultimate goal of this site is to be responsive and transparent, but it is important to note that federal law prohibits campus officials from releasing certain information about students.
Appalachian Cares is the place for updates about matters of student health and safety, and a place where you can submit questions, concerns or ideas regarding student life at Appalachian. These messages go to staff, who work with leaders across campus to answer your questions. In some cases, it may be appropriate to answer emails privately, in which case you may receive a response if you choose to submit your email address.
Otherwise, answers will be posted on the Appalachian Cares web page on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Please note that Appalachian will be transparent to the greatest extent possible, but federal law prohibits campus officials from releasing certain information about students.
