- Active Shooter Procedures and Questions
The committee reviewed questions and comments submitted by Valley building staff and faculty. Suzy Tannenbaum, Chief of Public Safety, presented on this topic at the April 26 Library Admin briefing. A pdf of her presentation can be found here.
...
- My primary concern is that these resources don’t include information about the fact that one is not allowed to carry a firearm on the OSU campus. I was told a few years ago by public safety that if we see someone with a firearm of any kind, we should call 911 immediately.
- What is the campus policy re firearms? What should we do if we see someone with a firearm? Firearms are not allowed on campus. Call Campus Safety only if it is safe to do so 541.737.7000.
- Comment: The committee can highlight this fact on the Wiki site and include what to do if you see someone with a possible firearm or weapon on campus. There are a couple of exceptions. Another issue is ROTC students who may carry their mock rifles for drills around campus.
...
- What other numbers should I program into my phone so that I can call for help immediately (other than 911?)
- Comment: 541-737-7000 is recommended which is the Oregon State Police. You should also have your supervisors phone number.
- I guess I don’t feel very prepared at all for this kind of thing and the Run, Hide Fight slogan, while somewhat useful, doesn’t fully help me think how I might actually respond. Where would I run? Where would I hide, How would I fight? I might be a person who needs to do a kind of drill, although I know that is triggering for others.
- Comment: Drills are not practical for Active Shooter events due to so many variables. You should think through as an individual where you would run (nearest emergency exit), where you would hide (in your work area or in the library), and how you would fight (what objects are available to you to use as a weapon). Feel free to do this with a co-worker.
- What do I as an individual need to do? What are my responsibilities? Run. Hide. Fight. Call campus safety only if it is safe to do so. 541.737.7000.
- Comment: Protect yourself is your only responsibility. Know where to run, where you can hide, and how you can fight if necessary.
- What What if we are out and about on campus? If there is an incident somewhere else, do we need to account for the library people out of the building? Should those people come back to the library so we know they're OK?t is the campus policy re firearms? What should we do if we see someone with a firearm?Firearms are not allowed on campus. Call Campus Safety only if it is safe to do so 541.737.7000.?
- Comment: You should contact your supervisor and keep up on campus alerts. You should have a call list in your phone of people you can call.
- I found the training to be really valuable. I’m concerned hope that all students all students across campus have the opportunity the opportunity to receiving this training, too. I also hope it is, at least, possible to have this training training available to our student staff at Orientation Day.?
- Comment: The committee will work on providing training for our student employees as well.
- is there an evacuation assistance area in the building, such as for persons with disabilities?
- Wha
...
- as for persons with disabilities?
- Comment: If possible others should help those with disabilities out of the building. If not, persons with disabilities should call 541-737-7000 and report their location and situation. Elevators can be used to exit the building if safe to do so.
- How does the library lock down the building? What are the procedures?
- Comment: Bryan will contact LEAD adminstration and the building coordinator to create procedures to lock down the building.
