On Wednesday, April 16, 2014, 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 Prettyman Hall. The exercise will occur sometime between noon and 8 p.m. and last for approximately 15 minutes. Access into the building will not be permitted while the functional exercise is in progress.
We will exercise the steps that can be taken by students 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 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.
