Emergency Response Framework

One of the protective actions that may be issued by University Office of Public 安全 and 安全 or University personnel is a building or campus-wide 疏散. An 疏散 protective action may be issued in response to a fire, hazardous materials spill/release or hostile intruder. An 疏散 protective action should not be issued for a bomb threat unless there is credible and specific information regarding the location and time of the threat. This protective action is aimed to keep students, 教师, 工作人员 and visitors safe by creating distance between them and the hazard area. 疏散 means immediately leaving the area you are located for another designated safe location. If a campus-wide 疏散 is issued, everyone on a campus is required to immediately leave on foot in an orderly manner and should not try to leave by car. Specific information regarding how to properly evacuate can be accessed on the Environmental 健康 and 安全 网站.

One of the protective actions that may be issued by University Office of Public 安全 and 安全 or University personnel is Shelter-in-Place. A Shelter-in-Place protective action may be issued in response to a hazardous materials spill/release, hostile intruder or weather emergency. This protective action is aimed to keep students, 教师, 工作人员, and visitors safe while remaining indoors. Shelter-in-Place means selecting a secure, interior room if possible, 没有或只有很少的Windows, and taking refuge there. 学生, 教师, 工作人员 and visitors are required to immediately Shelter-in-Place in an orderly manner when directed by emergency response personnel or a 汪达尔人的警觉 message. Specific information regarding how to properly Shelter-in-Place can be accessed on the Public 安全 and 安全 网站.

One of the protective actions that may be issued by University Office of Public 安全 and 安全 or university personnel is Temporary Closure. A Temporary Closure protective action may be issued after an 疏散 is ordered and it is determined that a building or campus is unsafe until further notice. This protective action is aimed to keep students, 教师, 工作人员 and visitors safe by keeping them out of the hazard area and away from emergency response operations. Temporary Closure means all campus classes and functions are canceled until further notice. Only essential personnel should remain on campus unless they are ordered to leave by the University Office of Public 安全 and 安全, Executive or Response Teams, or 当地的 emergency response agency personnel. Current information regarding the status of the University during an emergency can be accessed on the 汪达尔人的警觉 网站.
