The Illinois State University Police Department and Environmental Health & Safety office have developed a one-hour emergency preparedness class for interested University departments, teams, and groups. The interactive class encourages participants to discuss effective ways of dealing with a variety of emergency scenarios.
Topics in the session include:
- ISU Emergency Alert (what it is, how it works, how to register)
- Emergency Guides (flip charts)
- BirdWatch Guidebook (inside the Illinois State University app)
- Department emergency response plans
- Evacuation assembly areas and accountability
- Specific scenarios:
- Fire inside a building
- Tornado hitting campus
- Hazardous materials incident
- Armed robbery
- Bomb threat
- Shots fired
- Active shooter
Those interested in hosting a class for their department, team, or group should contact University Emergency Manager Eric Hodges.
