Emergency procedure video important training tool

Posted: November 21, 2013 2:00 p.m.

The University of Regina launched a short training video today that illustrates the University's armed intruder response procedures and Emergency Notification System (ENS).

While an armed intruder event is very unlikely to occur at the University of Regina, says Dave Button, Vice-President (Administration) and Director, Emergency Operations, it is important that faculty, staff, and students know what to do in the event that it does.

“No matter how infrequently an emergency may occur, we need to be prepared for it,” says Button. “We are committed to ensuring faculty, staff, and students have access to information they need to prepare for all emergency situations and this video is yet another tool that will help to inform our campus community.”

The University of Regina worked in conjunction with the Regina Police Service, to produce the video which is available on the institution’s Emergency Info website or the External Relations YouTube channel.
