If You Hear Gunshots
Call UPD on 911 after
you get away.
If at all possible, GET
OUT (Evacuate/Run)
and get away from the
gunshots!
Keep moving; it is hard-
er to hit a moving target.
Do not go to Rally Points
or EAPs.
If you can't get out,
HIDE OUT (Barricade/
Block/Lock Doors)
lock/barricade the door
and make a plan to
protect yourself in case
the intruder enters.
In an Active Shooter
situation you should
quickly determine the
most reasonable way to
protect your own life.
Learn what to do before,
during, and after an
Active Shooter situation
by taking the Active
Shooter: What You Can
Do training.
You can register for the
training at
training.humboldt.edu.
This training is recom-
mended for everyone and
we are happy to provide
you with a brochure
and pocket card for future
reference.
If trapped by a shooter
entering your hiding
place, you have only
seconds to decide to
TAKE OUT (Defend/
Fight) against the shoot-
er. While this is a choice
only you can make, it
may be the only way to
survive. Use furniture or
whatever means availa-
ble to protect yourself
and others.
To access videos and
brochures, go to the
Emergency Manage-
ment Program Active
Shooter Training link.
Active Shooter Awareness Training is Available!
HSU Alert is the Universi-
ty's emergency text mes-

personnel to alert individu-
als to an emergency situa-
tion affecting the campus.

Earthquakes are a com-
mon occurrence in Cali-
fornia. Most of these
earthquakes are too
small for us to notice,
but occasionally we do
feel the ground shake.
Humboldt County is very
seismically active, which
means you better be
prepared! If you feel the
ground begin to shake
do not run for the door.
You should immediately
DROP to the ground,
COVER yourself under
the nearest table or
desk, and HOLD ON
until the shaking stops. If
you are on campus
when the earthquake
occurs, wait until the
Tsunami Awareness
shaking stops and it is
safe to exit the building,
and go to the nearest
Rally Point. Look for
staff in orange safety
vests to assist you. If
you are in an area
where there is no one
else around, Drop, Cov-
er & Hold On, and when
safe, go to a more
populated area for help.

Beach and River Safety
Beach Safety
Always keep an eye on
the ocean. Sneaker
waves may be 2-3 times
larger than the surf pat-
tern. Sneaker waves pull
people out to sea every
year. Hypothermia and
tides don’t trap you in a
cove.
River Safety
Wear a life vest! Our
local rivers are beautiful,
swift, cold, and life-
threatening to swim-
mers, fishermen, and

deadly threats on the
North Coast. Before you
go on a beach hike,
carefully check the tide

Tsunamis are a series of
large ocean waves gen-
erated by large under-
sea disturbances, such
as a major earthquake.
Tsunamis are not affect-

a tsunami in the ocean

column is moving, not
just the surface. When

happen when major

We need your help when
the next big earthquake
strikes, local rescue per-
sonnel will be stretched too
thin. We must become
more self-reliant by training
and equipping members of
our campus community as
emergency response
teams. Consider joining

If you travel on moun-
tainous roads in the win-
ter, have an emergency
road kit as well!
Make a Plan
Become familiar with the
Emergency Evacuation
Plan signs in your areas.
Make sure you have a
plan in case of an emer-
gency. Before an emer-
gency happens, sit
down together with
roommates or family and
decide how you will get
in contact with each oth-
er, where you will go
and what you will do in
an emergency. Keep a
copy of this plan in your
emergency supply kit or

three days.
Quick Tips:
Always carry a flashlight
on campus.
Keep a pair of sturdy
shoes and a flashlight in
