UGA inspects failed alert system

The University of Georgia is trying to figure out why its emergency notification system failed. There was a 13-minute delay when the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for Clarke County Aug. 26. The UGAAlert system is designed to send students and employees text messages, e-mails and automated phone calls when there is a campus-wide threat. Nearly 50,000 people are connected to the system.
