  11. And in your car… .

  12. If a major earthquake happened right now… Your first thoughts are probably… • Is my family and home OK? • How can I contact them? • Do I know the Emergency Procedures? • Is my life’s work protected? • How will I recover?

  13. As a faculty member… • What should my students do? • Should I evacuate? • Where should I evacuate? • What if someone needs help evacuating? • What is my role?

  14. If a fire alarm sounds… • What do you tell your students? • Where is your nearest exit? • Do you know who is in class today? • Where is your evacuation area?

  15. Shelter in Place Announcement You need to know: • Close and, if possible, lock the door. • Turn all electronic devices to SILENT. • Turn off lights, remain silent and await for further instructions.

  16. A person with a gun… On campus, not nearby ---Shelter in Place On campus, nearby ---Shelter in Place, lock or barricade the door.

  17. A person with a gun… …walks into your hallway or into your room… You cannot just hide. . Columbine High School, 1999

  18. Actively participate in your survival • Make a plan BEFORE you ever need to use these skills… • Form teams… • Distraction team • Attack team

  19. PREPARE NOW! • Make sure you are PERSONALLY prepared. • Home • Work • Car • Look over your course syllabus. • What alarms mean • Evacuation instructions • Helping others • Checking in/keeping track of students

  20. PREPARE NOW! FOR THE CLASSROOM… • Participate in all evacuations. • Participate in all Shelter in Place drills. • Participate in the Great Shake Out drill: • Drop, Cover and Hold On • Look for more on-campus training. • Learn First Aid and CPR.

  21. Why Practice? Do you… • Choose a surgeon who has only done 1 surgery before? • Take a test when you have never studied? • Have a mechanic fix your car that has only read about fixing cars? OF COURSE NOT! When why do you not practice BASIC SURVIVAL SKILLS???

  22. Basic Instincts When confronted with a stressful situation, our natural reaction is FIGHT, or FLIGHT. In an earthquake, what are the two things that you should never do, and could kill you? That’s right –Fight and Flight! Survive by: • Being small • Not running out of buildings.

  23. How to do the right thing: • PRACTICE • PRACTICE • PRACTICE

  24. But who will rescue me? In over 90% of all disasters, the person most likely to rescue you is the person physically closest to you at the time of the disaster. Many Haitians had only themselves to help them.
