Program these important numbers into your cell phones in advance so they are readily available when needed.

Before approaching or touching the person having an alcohol or drug abuse crisis, identify yourself to the individual and explain what you intend to do. Talk calmly in a non-challenging manner and orient individual to time, place, and condition if needed.

Try to find out what the individual has consumed and how much, including whether alcohol was mixed with other drugs (prescription medication or illegal drugs) so responding emergency personnel can be informed.

Make certain someone stays with individual. If the individual wishes to lie down, have lie on/her side to avoid asphyxiation. If the person is convulsing, do not attempt to put any object in the mouth and do not restrain.

People who are under the influence of alcohol/drugs can be irrational and/or dangerous. NEVER PUT YOURSELF AT PHYSICAL RISK.

Bombings or threats of bombing are now harsh realities in today's world. While most bomb threats turn out to be hoaxes and most suspicious packages are harmless, it is important that all threats and suspicious objects be treated seriously. Time is of the essence when a bomb threat is received, and we must be ready to react quickly and efficiently to minimize the risk of injury to students, staff, faculty and visitors. These guidelines are designed to help 麻豆传媒映画 community members prepare for the potential threat of explosive-related violence.

These guidelines and a Bomb Threat Checklist should be kept next to every university telephone. (A copy of the Bomb Threat Checklist is located below)

A calm response to a bomb threat caller could result in obtaining additional information. This is especially true if the caller wishes to avoid injuries or deaths. If told that the building is occupied or cannot be evacuated in time, the bomber may be willing to give more specific information on the bomb's location, components, or method of initiation. When a bomb threat is called in:

• Keep the caller on the line as long as possible. Do not interrupt except to ask the caller to speak louder, slower or to repeat the message.
• Record pertinent information on a Bomb Threat Checklist. Do not hang up until the caller hangs up.
• If the caller does not indicate the location of the bomb or time of possible detonation, ask him/her for this information.
• Inform the caller that the building is occupied and the detonation of a bomb can result in death or serious injury to many innocent people.
• Pay particular attention to background noises, such as motors running, music playing, vehicle traffic and any other noise, which may give a clue as to the location of the caller.
• Listen closely to the voice (male or female), the mood of the caller (calm, excited, despondent, etc.), accents or speech impediments.
• Report the threat to Security immediately after the caller hangs up. Security will then implement its bomb threat response procedure.
• Remain available in the event that Security or other law enforcement personnel want to interview you.

While written threats are usually associated with generalized threats and extortion attempts, a written warning of a specific device may occasionally be received.

• Save all materials including the envelope.
• Once the message is recognized as a threat, further unnecessary handling should be avoided in order to preserve evidence.
• Report the threat to Security. Security will then implement its bomb threat response procedure.
• Remain available in the event that Security or other law enforcement personnel want to interview you.

While the likelihood of receiving a bomb through the mail is remote, letter or package bombs represent an alternate delivery method if the motive of the attack is to inflict injury on a specific individual. Bombs can be constructed to look like almost anything and can be placed or delivered in a number of ways. Its appearance is limited only by the imagination of the sender. However, the following characteristics may help you in identifying a suspicious letter or package:

• FEEL & BALANCE - Letters feel rigid, appear uneven or lopsided or are bulkier or heavier than normal. Sponginess or undue pressure can be felt through the package. Contents of  the parcel may make a "sloshing" noise.
• PLACE OF ORIGIN - Check the delivery postmark to see if the place of origin is familiar. Check to see if letter shows a city or state in the postmark that does not match the return address
• FOREIGN PACKAGES - If the item is from another country ask yourself if it is expected. Look for foreign writing, addresses and postage.
• UNUSUAL ADDRESSING OR DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS - There are unusually restrictive endorsements such as "Personal," "Private" and "Confidential" or has no return address.
• PACKAGING - Packaging wrapped in string are automatically suspicious, as modern packaging materials have eliminated the need for twine or string.
• POSTAGE - Excess postage on small packages or letters indicate that the Post Office did not weigh the object. No postage or non-cancelled postage should also be a warning.
• WRITING - Handwritten notes such as "Fragile," "Rush" or "Prize Enclosed," a foreign style of writing (not normally received), misspelling of common names, places or titles and mail addressed to generic or incorrect titles should be treated with caution.
• ODOR - The mail or package emits the smell of marzipan or almonds or any other peculiar odor.
• APPEARANCE - Leaks, stains, protruding wires, string, tape or tinfoil are present.
• SOUND - Any package that emits a buzzing, ticking or other unusual noise should be treated with caution.
• TELEPHONE CALLS - Any packages or letters arriving before or after a phone call from an unknown person asking if the item was received is suspect.

• Under no circumstances should anyone move, jar, touch, tamper or interfere with the object or anything attached to it.
• Report the location and an accurate description of the object to Security.
• Security and Facilities personnel should not use portable radios to report a suspicious object as they can sometimes cause the premature detonation of an explosive device.
• If possible, open all doors and windows in the area where the object is found to minimize primary damage caused by the blast and secondary damage caused by fragmentation.

If it is determined that an evacuation is necessary, you will be directed by security to completely evacuate your building. Follow instructions from security personnel to avoid areas of concern.

• Take personal belongings such as purses, briefcases, knapsacks and shopping bags with you so they are not confused with suspicious packages by those conducting a bomb search.
• Know your escape route in advance. Also be prepared to use an alternate exit in case your primary route is obstructed. Pay attention to all alarms and public address system announcements.
• Follow instructions given by Fire Wardens, Security and NYPD personnel.
• Never use an elevator to evacuate unless directed to do so by Security.
• Once outside, move well away from the building, especially away from windows.

If you receive a telephone threat, remain calm and try to keep caller on the line. Use this checklist as a guide and to document the details of the threat.

It is a violation of New York State Law to fail to evacuate when the fire alarm is sounding. Always assume it is a real emergency and follow your evacuation procedures. It is unlawful for any person to prevent or order another person from evacuating or leaving the building when the alarm is sounding.

Know your Emergency Evacuation Route in advance. Also be prepared to use an alternate exit in case your primary route is obstructed. Plan how you would escape in case of a fire. Know your escape routes well enough to be able to make your way in the dark or in dense smoke.

• Be aware that whenever the fire alarm sounds it may signal a very real emergency situation.
• Remain calm and proceed to evacuate the area in an orderly manner. Do not rush, push or panic. Rely on planning and knowledge.
• Assist disabled persons to evacuate the area. Be particularly aware of persons with sight or hearing disabilities.

Fire extinguishers are located on every floor inside each fire stair should be used to extinguish small fires only. Ensure that you have a clear escape route before using an extinguisher. An easy way to remember how to use a fire extinguisher is to remember the acronym PASS, which stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze and Sweep.

• PULL the pin. This will allow you to discharge the extinguisher.
• AIM at the base of the fire. If you aim at the flames, the extinguishing agent will fly right through. You want to hit the fuel.
• SQUEEZE the top handle lever. This depresses a button that releases the pressurized extinguishing agent.
• SWEEP from side to side until the fire is completely out. Start using the extinguisher from a safe distance away, and then move forward. Once the fire is out, keep an eye on the area in case it re-ignites.

Fire Wardens are designated by the Security Department as the primary point of contact with occupants in a particular building. Some of the duties of the Wardens are:
