Emergency Preparedness Training Video
|
If you missed the Emergency Preparedness Training conducted on campus earlier this month, please find time to watch the hour-long video recording of one of the sessions. The training provides a general overview of possible emergency situations to consider on campus and specific instructions for what to do in the case of an active shooter.
The Emergency Management page on our website also includes a variety of resources, including guidance on how to respond to specific types of emergencies (gas odor, bomb threat, power failure).
Please note: We will be testing our emergency alert system (Everbridge) later this week. Verify your emergency contact information at my.whitman.edu (look for “Campus Alert” under “Profile”).
