active shooter film is on police website http://police.uncg.edu/Programs/ so you can watch online , will be shown again here in Jackson at some point - I saw it a couple of years ago, and thought it was very good
phones in Tower will be removed since they really don't help
bushes around building will be trimmed back to avoid providing hiding places
use the disaster preparedness and emergency planning website for info on what to do in all kinds of emergency situations- http://emg.uncg.edu
safety inspection soon - stacks are not currently in compliance - problems to look for piggy backed power strips, materials too close to ceiling, flammable materials on walls, egress pathways not clear, electric plates open or missing
make sure you are signed up for Emergency notification system (the one that sends emails and texts about emergency situations, can be done thru Genie)
to contact police 336-334-4444 emergency number (preferred on campus, 911 calls end up going to campus police, so takes longer)
non-emergency 336- 334-5963
text to police dept. 336-447-3898 (could use if you are in a situation where you had to be quite
LibGuide is being developed, will replace print sources for disaster preparedness, has detailed maps for exits,fire extinguishers
areas of rescue assistance in stairwells - red button gives direct call to the police, for people in wheelchairs for priority rescue in an emergency situation, there is a speaker which you can use for emergency situations where you don't have immediate access to a phone, if the button is pushed the police will come, even if no response
police chief visited to tell us about new app to be rolled out with SOAR, but you can download now in test mode - Nick has it and I also installed on my phone. Livesafe app would allow you to transmit pictures, etc. will allow reporting incidents to police via cell phone, all sorts of cool features such as inviting someone to view you walking to your car, there will be a campus wide email when it is live - it's free to all UNCG,
locator app should it be activated, can use to request safety escort
