  3. Click on "Edit Page" at the top (this is a page).
  4. Change the title to just "Emergency" (this will trigger the emergency alert on the displays).
  5. Edit the body of the message if desired or leave the generic Emergency message.
    The generic message:
    
    Due to an emergency, it is required that all persons evacuate this building immediately. Please leave the building until further notice.
    
  6. Click "Update".
  7. Click "View Page".
  8. If all good, then logout.
