Emergency Preparedness
Announcing Campus Safety Awareness Week, October 18 – 20, 2011
"Active Shooter Awareness”
October 18-20, 2011
San Francisco State Office of Emergency Services and the department of Human Resources Safety & Risk Management are sponsoring trainings on Active Shooter Awareness. The acclaimed trainings will be conducted by the UC Davis Police Training Team who will teach us the skills and strategies we need to know to survive threats to campus safety, specifically the threat of an active gunman on campus.
University police departments across the country are working hard to safeguard our communities, but real security is only achieved when everyone does their part. We want to give as many students, staff, and faculty as possible the opportunity to attend and participate in the trainings. We will be providing two daily sessions from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. and again from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m., during Campus Safety Awareness Week, October 18, 19 and 20.
The Active Shooter Awareness Trainings will be held at the Towers Conference Center.

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) on Campus September 2011
A Campus-CERT program will begin this fall as an ongoing initiative through the university’s Office of Emergency Preparedness. CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) is part of a national program sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FEMA and the national Citizens Corps.
CERT educates people about disaster preparedness for multiple hazards and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Through training, drills and practice exercises, CERT members learn how to assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available.
This Free training will be provided by the San Francisco Fire Department (SFFD) through their Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT) Program. All students, alumni, faculty and staff are encouraged to attend the two-day NERT training on September 22, and October 6, 2011 at Seven Hills Conference Center.
To registerand for more information, please see our NERT information page.
