On Wednesday, August 22, 2012, the Office of Public Safety?s Department of Environmental Health & Safety-Office of Emergency Preparedness and the Police Department will be conducting a shelter-in-place exercise in the Cook Library facility. The exercise will commence at about 10 a.m. and be completed by about 10:15 a.m. Access into the building will not be permitted during these times.
We will exercise the steps that can be taken by students, faculty and staff to protect themselves and others and evaluate the responses to the incident.
This exercise is designed to simulate the shelter-in-place of faculty, staff and students necessitated by a criminal event and to test and evaluate the capabilities of responding departments under these conditions. It will provide an opportunity to test and evaluate plans and procedures, build partnerships and identify areas of improvement.
There will be no simulated criminal event or activity during the exercise.
If you have any questions, please contact Cpl. Joe Gregory at x4-5951.
