Sylvania Campus to host 2010 fall term Lockdown drill
Photos and Story by Kate Chester
The Sylvania Campus will hold its fall term lockdown drill on at 11 a.m., Monday, Sept. 27, using its newly installed Mass Notification and Alert System.
The drill offers an opportunity to practice a non-evacuation emergency and is different than a fire alarm/evacuation drill. An alert will be sounded; everyone on campus will carry out the Lockdown drill, and all buildings and common areas will participate.
The alert will sound for approximately three minutes. The Mass Notification and Alert System will launch the drill, first with an audible tone, then with flashing strobe lights (indoors), followed by audible instructions. The drill will conclude with an “all clear” message.
- If you are in a classroom, lab or office, conceal and cover yourself.
- If you are in an indoor, non-classroom, student or public gathering area (such as the CC Mall), Building and Floor Monitors will direct you to the safest place possible to conceal and cover yourself.
- If you are in an outside area, seek a safe area and conceal and cover yourself.
