EHS Announces Spring 2023 Drill Schedule!
The Department of Environmental Health and Safety in cooperation with the University Police Department conducts evacuation drills of campus buildings. These drills are mandated by the Chancellor’s Executive Order No.1056 and CCR Title 19, Office of the State Fire Marshal and are integral to the Campus’ Emergency Preparedness Program.

CSU Active Shooter Video
This video outlines the "Run, Hide, Fight" survival method to be used in the case of an active shooter situation. It was produced for the CSU system to help prepare students, faculty, staff and community members for the potential threat of a gunman. The video was produced with input from campus police chiefs throughout the 23 CSU campuses.
