Re: Active Shooter Response


 

Ask for help from a sighted person.

Call the campus police, alert them ahead of time?
of your circumstances and special needs.

I¡¯m working with a college student who is blind (NLP). The campus recently had an active shooter ¡°red alert¡± (false alarm, thankfully). The student was on her way to a meeting with Disability Services. Thankfully, they watched for and unlocked the building to let her in, but generally this wouldn¡¯t be the case.?

Students outside a building are advised to run/try to move away from potential areas of danger / hide if necessary. Either of these could be difficult to do for this student.?

Here is an example of the guidance:?

Both the student and university have requested guidance on how to handle this sort of situation with regard to vision loss.?

Any suggestions or examples of guidelines?

Thanks!
