Union Emergency Procedures Review
Posted by Deanna Cahoon-Draus on October 18, 2022 at 9:47 amGood morning all,
We are working on reviewing our emergency procedures – specifically around active shooter procedures, but we are looking at all of our procedures as well through this process. Would you mind sharing your emergency procedures for your student union and if you have any specific materials you use to train your students on the procedure? If you are more comfortable sharing via email, my email is deanna.cahoondraus@uwrf.eduThank you in advance!

I would check with your University to see if there is an Office of Safety or Campus Police that provides training. We work with our Campus Police who runs a program called Run, Hide and Fight which is a comprehensive training on how to respond to an active shooter in the building or even on Campus. Our students are a part of this training every Fall Semester training.

Kathleen –
I have used the following videos, along with discussion for these topics:Bomb Threat –What to Do: Bomb Threat
YouTube remove preview 
What to Do: Bomb Threat Demonstrates the procedures you should follow during a bomb threat and will help you prepare and react appropriately. Although a bomb threat may seem rare, they happen every day across the nation. Reacting quickly and safely to a bomb threat could save lives, including your own.

Demonstrates how you can determine whether an item is suspicious (potential bomb) or simply unattended and will help you prepare and react appropriately. Learn more about CISA’s Office for Bombing Prevention: cisa.gov/office-bombing-prevention-obp View this on YouTube > ——————————

At Southern Miss we work with a few campus entities to provide emergency procedure training to our student staff each fall semester. Our University Police Department provides a training session on general campus safety and active shooter. We also have the safety division of our Physical Plant talk about fire safety in the facility and allow students to demonstrate how to use a fire extinguisher and go through a smoked out building. We also have a session that is specific to our facility and staff response: tornado, hurricane, fire, active shooter, contagious disease, etc. Let me know if you have any questions about these training sessions.

I would also suggest talking with Campus Police. We have Community Response to Active Shooter training which our University Police conduct. The Department of Homeland Security also has Active Shooter preparedness materials(https://www.cisa.gov/active-shooter-preparedness).
