51С�Ƴ�

The University of 51С�Ƴ� is committed to keeping our community safe. The 51С�Ƴ�Emergency Preparedness and Response website is designed to inform the community about emergency procedures and resources for responding to a situation that threatens public safety.

These emergencies might include public health emergencies, major power failures, accidents, bomb threats, hazardous spills, or fires. These types of emergencies can pose significant threats to life and property.

UNE’s emergency response procedures exist to maintain our ability to quickly and effectively respond to any public safety emergency. Please review these pages carefully and refer to them for critical information in the event of an emergency.

Active Shooter

If there is an Active Shooter in your building

• Run
  • If you think you can safely, RUN. Don’t wait for others who might be reluctant to leave.
• Hide
  • Lock all doors and windows if you can. If you can’t lock a door barricade with furniture or anything you may have.
  • Turn off all lights, televisions, radios and put your phone on silent.
  • Move to a point in the room where you cannot be seen such as under a desk, behind a file cabinet, a wall closest to the hallway where you can’t be seen through a window.
  • Dial 911 and let the police know where you are and any other information that might be helpful.
• Fight
  • As a last resort, if the active shooter enters your hiding space, you may have to fight. If you do, commit to taking down the shooter with all you have.

Wait for a recognized 51С�Ƴ�Official or the police to tell you to come out.

This platform allows us to stay connected with the 51С�Ƴ�community and provide critical information in real time during emergency situations on campus or in the surrounding communities. Included in the platform is the Rave Guardian mobile app for smartphones, available for download on the App Store and Google Play.

Within the Rave Guardian app, you can:
