This eight minute video is a clear and compelling presentation about Emergency Preparedness Training. It was created by the Office of Public Safety in conjunction with the Office of Technology Services, and is emceed by Marina Cooper, the President’s Deputy Chief of Staff.
The video is divided into segments, which cover many of the dangers other campuses have experienced, including: active and non-active shooters, severe weather and fires. This information is important because it is useful in staying safe both on and off campus.
College campuses are generally considered safe, but areas with high concentrations of people are at greater risk for crimes. When a rehearsal for the next “Shelter in Place” exercise is offered in your building, please participate and take it seriously. This exercise will teach you how to keep yourself safe as well as how to help keep the students safe. We have had three of these instructive exercises—one in Hawkins Hall, one in Cook Library, and one in the Administration Building. The fourth exercise is tentatively scheduled for the Union in March.
