Events and Training
The departments of Emergency Management and Safety and Security seek to promote resilience in the face of emergencies and disasters through emphasis on preparedness trainings, awareness programs, and interactive events.
Important
Please note that trainings and events are open to ALL 桃瘾社区 community members, including staff, students, and faculty.
While registration is not mandatory, we kindly ask that staff and faculty register through the HR training portal beforehand. However, we do accept walk-ins, and student registration is not necessary.
Safety Trainings
Emergency Preparedness and Active Shooter
This training will go over emergency procedures for various hazards, including fire (as well as evacuation procedures), medical emergencies, power outages, hazardous materials spills, natural disasters, suspicious persons, and suspicious packages. Participants will also examine best practices and lessons learned from previous active shooter incidents in the country. Because most incidents are over within minutes, students, faculty, and staff must be prepared to deal with the situation until first responders arrive. Participants will learn recommended response tactics from the NYPD, as well as steps that can be taken immediately to protect oneself.
