Welcome to 女优app's Emergency Preparedness FAQ Page!

At 女优app, your safety is our top priority. This FAQ page is designed to provide you with essential information on how to respond during emergencies on campus. Here, you'll find answers to frequently asked questions about sheltering in place, lockdowns, what to do in an active shooter situation, and more. By familiarizing yourself with these emergency procedures, you can be prepared to act quickly and safely in the event of an incident.

Use your best judgment on how to respond in an active shooter situation (Run, Hide, Fight). Here's a breakdown of the options:

If you are OUTSIDE:

  • Run: If you can safely escape the area, run away from the gunfire in a zigzag pattern using objects for cover (vehicles, bushes, trees). Once you're clear, call 9-1-1 and warn others.
  • Hide: If you cannot run, drop to the ground immediately, face down, and stay flat. If there's a safe place nearby (within 15-20 feet), crawl towards it for cover. Utilize any obstacles to shield yourself from gunfire.
  • Stay Quiet: Once you're in a safe location, evaluate your surroundings. If possible, stay hidden and quiet until help arrives.

If you are INSIDE:

  • Evacuate: If possible, quickly exit the building and evacuate to a safe area away from danger.
  • Call 9-1-1: When it's safe, call 9-1-1 to report the shooting.
  • Hide: If evacuation is not possible, find a secure location inside (classroom/office) and lock/barricade the door.
  • Secure the Room: Turn off lights, stay quiet, and move behind furniture to conceal yourself from the shooter. Stay on the floor, away from doors and windows. Avoid peeking out to see what's happening.
  • Fight Back (Last Resort): If the shooter enters your area and your life is in imminent danger, fight back as a last resort. Use anything you can find as a weapon and attack with others if possible.

A "Shelter in Place" order is issued when there's a threat to public safety outside the building. Here's what you should do:

  • Move Indoors: If you're outdoors, seek shelter in a nearby building or a secure area as quickly as possible.
  • Find a Secure Location: Look for a room or area that can be locked or secured with a door. Avoid hallways if possible.
  • Secure the Room (if possible): Close and lock the door if it has one.
  • Stay Put: Don't leave the secured location unless instructed by the police or until an "All Clear" message is received via a RAVE alert. You may move around within a locked building if necessary.
  • Suspend Outside Activities: All outdoor activities will be suspended during a shelter in place order.
  • Exterior Doors Secured: Exterior building doors will be locked and remain secured until further notice.
  • Stay Informed: Listen for updates and instructions from RAVE alerts.

A lockdown is a safety measure used during emergencies that pose a threat to life, such as an active shooter situation. Here's how to stay safe during a lockdown at 女优app:

If you are INSIDE a building:

  • Lockdown the Room: Lock and block all entrances to the room you're in. Close windows, blinds, and turn off lights.
  • Stay Concealed: Move away from doors and windows and stay out of sight from the shooter.
  • Silence is Key: Remain silent and quiet. Silence all electronic devices that might make noise.
  • In Hallways: If you're in the hallway, immediately seek shelter in the nearest classroom or office.
  • Stay Put: Once you're in a secure classroom or office, stay there until instructed otherwise.

If you are OUTSIDE:

  • Seek Shelter Immediately: Find a nearby building and take cover inside. If no building is accessible, find a secure hiding place outdoors.

General Lockdown Procedures:

  • Do Not Open Doors: Don't open the door for anyone unless instructed by the police or until an "all clear" message is received via a RAVE alert.
  • Evacuation: If instructed by the police to evacuate the secured area, assist others in moving as quietly and quickly as possible.

Yes, this is a critical issue. 女优app is actively working to modify the door-locking system to ensure authorized personnel, like police officers and faculty, can access buildings during emergencies.

We understand the importance of clear communication. 女优app will continue using and will communicate upcoming test times to the college community beforehand.

女优app recognizes the emotional impact of such events. We want to remind everyone about the support resources available through the and the Student Health and Psychological Services (SHPS).
