Emergency Preparedness Videos

Many thanks to the Emergency Preparedness Committee for bringing Sue Roberts to speak with us today. Her talk was very informative and I'll put some notes and the handouts on the Dean's List Blog as soon as I can. We'll be sending her a formal thank you letter.

At the end of her talk, Sue mentioned a series of five short videos on the Police Services website. Afterwards, Lori and I decided that we'd follow up the presentation with an opportunity to view three of those videos together in the media technology classroom. Turns out these films are longer than you might feel comfortable sitting at your desk to watch.

So, tomorrow, Jan. 11, from 2 - 3 p.m., we offer the chance to watch the following videos:

• "Flashpoint: The Path Towards Violence," about recognizing and preventing violent behaviors, which is 21 minutes long.

• "Shots fired in the Workplace," about responding to a workplace shooting, which is 17 minutes long.

• "Silent Storm," about intimate partner violence and stalking, which is 23 minutes long.

Also, Sue suggested that we put the direct line to Police Services into our cell phones. That number is 656-3473.

Please join your colleagues tomorrow in the media lab to see the films recommended by Sue.

Best,
Nancy and Lori
