Lockdown
A Lockdown is the temporary sheltering technique, e.g. 30 minutes to several hours, utilized to limit The University’s occupants’ exposure in an emergency situation. This course of action may need to be taken during a tornado, earthquake, the release of hazardous materials in the outside air, a civil disturbance or an “Active Shooter” or similar incident.

If you hear or see a hostage situation:
Immediately remove yourself from danger.
Do not intervene or call attention to yourself.
Immediately call 911.
Hazardous Gas
Odorant, added to natural gas, can be detected at extremely low concentrations. Smelling natural gas does not necessarily constitute an immediate hazard. If natural gas odor is detected:
Floods
Floods are one of the most common hazards in the United States. Flood effects can be local, impacting a neighborhood or community, or very large, affecting entire river basins and multiple states.
Fire
To protect yourself, it is important to understand the basic characteristics of fire. Fire spreads quickly; there is no time to gather valuables or make a phone call. In just two minutes, a fire can become life-threatening. In five minutes, a residence can be engulfed in flames.
Extreme Heat
Heat kills by pushing the human body beyond its limits. In extreme heat and high humidity, evaporation is slowed and the body must work extra hard to maintain a normal temperature.
