Norwich University to conduct Shelter in Place Drill – February 21, 2019; 10:15 a.m.
On Thursday, February 21, 2019 at 10:15 a.m., Norwich University will conduct a "Shelter in Place" drill. Residents should not be alarmed by the siren they may hear at that time. Students, Staff and Faculty will also receive a RAVE notification (phone, text, and email) about the drill.
What is expected by participants on the Norwich University Campus;
If you are on the campus and you hear the Siren (a wailing tone) please do the following:
o If you are outside, go into the nearest campus building immediately. If the buildings around you are already locked (as mandated by emergency procedures), proceed with the "run" portion of "Run, Hide or Fight."
o Shelter in place and lock the door of the room you are in; barricade the door if necessary.
o Close all the blinds, lock the windows and turn off the lights.
o Stay away from doors and windows.
o Do not make sounds and place your cell device to silent mode.
o Wait until you hear the All-Clear siren (a long steady tone) or receive a RAVE alert message stating it is All-Clear.
