Violence drill will test disaster planning
On Aug. 14, the UNTHSC Safety Office will lead a drill that will simulate violence on campus to test the Health Science Center’s planning, communications and response to such an incident. The drill will involve many departments across campus and will exercise many resources. The drill won’t interrupt classes or patient care.
Remember, it’s only a drill. No real violence is planned, nor will toy or fake guns or other weapons be used. Peace officers have been instructed not to draw their weapons. For more information on the drill and emergency preparedness at UNTHSC, visit the Safety Office Web site. All UNTHSC’s safety policies and additional material can be found there.
Drills are an integral part of preparation for dealing with various disasters and crises. Your participation is important.
Got a question for President Ransom?
Ask him at the next Town Hall meeting.
As always, Dr. Ransom will open the floor to questions from faculty, staff and students. But now you can also submit your question or topic to townhall@hsc.unt.edu and we’ll pass it along—anonymously if you’d like—to the President’s Office. We can’t guarantee that Dr. Ransom will address every e-mailed question during the Town Hall meeting, but he’ll do his best to respond. The next Town Hall meetings are scheduled for Monday, Aug. 25, 4 - 5 pm, and Tuesday, Aug. 26, 7 - 8 am. Both meetings will be in Luibel Hall.
