LOCKDOWN LEVELS AND PROCEDURES
The 日本av视频 may institute a partial or complete lockdown to help ensure the safety of the 日本av视频 community. Access is controlled through the 日本av视频’s Emergency Communication Center. 日本av视频 Police will consider the circumstances of each event to determine whether to institute a lockdown.
TOTAL LOCKDOWN (Most Danger)
WHAT: All exterior building doors are locked by 日本av视频 Police through the Emergency Communications Center. Access is not available through the use of a Royal card.
WHY: A total lockdown may be activated upon confirmation of any significant emergency or dangerous situation that poses an immediate threat to the health or safety of the 日本av视频 community. All classes and activities are suspended until further direction, individuals should shelter in place.
If you are in a safe location during a total lockdown:
- If inside and in a safe location stay where you are.
- Move to a securable area (such as an office or classroom) and lock interior doors.
- Close the window coverings.
- Move away from the windows and get low on the floor.
- Keep occupants calm, quiet and out of sight.
- Silence cell phones.
- Remain in your secure area until further direction or the all clear is given.
If you are unable to enter a building because of a total lockdown:
- Leave the area and seek safe shelter off campus.
- Return to campus only after the all clear is given.
ROYAL CARD ACCESS ONLY (Low to moderate danger)
What: All exterior building doors are locked. Access is only available through the use of a Royal card.
Why: A precautionary measure to prevent a potential threat from gaining entry to 日本av视频 buildings.
- This is not a Lockdown--There are no restrictions on movement throughout campus.
- Classes and 日本av视频 business will continue under a normal schedule unless directed otherwise.
SHELTER IN PLACE
What: Shelter in Place is an occupant protection strategy that may be issued in response to a variety of incidences involving severe weather, violent behavior, outside chemical releases and other situations where it is safer for building occupants to remain in the sheltered area of a building.
- If inside and in a safe location, stay where you are.
- If outdoors, seek shelter in the nearest building.
- Locate an interior room to shelter inside.
- Close windows, vents, and close exterior doors.
- Stay in place until directed by ENS message and/or emergency personnel.
- Building access may or may not be restricted based on the circumstances of the incident.
EVACUATION
An immediate evacuation of a building may be required for several reasons including fires and fire alarm activations, release of natural gas or other hazardous materials within or near a building, and violent situations (such as an active shooter). In situations that do not involve potential risk when exiting a building, proceed to the designated Evacuation Rally Point and await further instructions.
- Always evacuate at the sound of the alarm
