A new campaign by KNIGHTSHARE, or Knights Helping Advocate Resiliency in Emergencies, has been designed to help the UCF community prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies, UCF said.
The UCF Office of Emergency Management will host an Expo on March 25 – March 29, 2013 to alert the community on how to stay safe on campus.
Events will include bomb robot demonstrations, K9 demonstartions, DUI simulators and much more. Training courses will also be available for many different subjects including UCF Alerts and shots fired incidents as well as fire suppression training and other incident control situations.
View a schedule of the expo below:
Monday, Thursday, and Friday: Training courses are available for faculty, staff, students, and community members. Register here.
Tuesday: The Office of Emergency Management invited key players from our Regional Campuses for an exercise that will take place at the UCF Emergency Operations Center to discuss emergency management programs.
Wednesday: Free food and prizes! Emergency Response equipment will be staged by the UCF Veterans Commemorative Site near Memory Mall. Come out and visit your first responders and get a tour of their equipment, command trailers, and vehicles! They will also be in the Student Union, room 218, from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm.
News of this expo comes days after a planned massacre at UCF was thwarted when the gunman’s roommate called 911, hurrying responders to the scene. The gunman was later found dead in his Tower 1 dorm room from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. For more on that story, click here.
