TIPS
Q & A Q. What are viable evacuation routes from the areas in which you spend most of your time or frequent the most (ie office, staff lounge or restroom)? A. Assuming an attacker enters from the main entrance, for most located in the library, the Staff Entrance or Emergency Exit will likely be the safest choice. Q. What objects can you use as barriers and weapons? A. For example, identify nearby furniture that you can use and are able to quickly move to barricade the door. For weapons, grab a stapler, lamp or other weighted object that you can throw at the intruder. Q. What are the features of a particular space that expose and make you vulnerable? A. If there is a window that provides a person outside of the space line of sight view to where you are sitting or standing inside a room or your office, then be prepared to (better) or preemptively (best) take action to cover, block and/or obstruct it as much as possible or consider a finding a better place to hide. Many rooms even though they are able to be locked, have a built in window in the door and/or nearby wall which exposes occupants to being seen and potentially harmed. Unless you are in desperate predicament, unable to escape the building or find a better place to hide, should you then choose such a location as a last resort. Q. What are the features of a particular space that hide and protect you? A. Ideally, a room without interior windows, a solid hardwood or metal door and a deadbolt lock with movable metal or hardwood furniture that can be used to barricade entry. Imagine scenarios where you are unable to evacuate safely from your office, lounge or restroom, and are unable to quickly or effectively hide from someone who enters the space, what would you do then?Based on what you have learned up until this point, only you can answer this one. To better understand and prepare for the realities of such a situation, here is a report about the Virginia Tech (VT) massacre: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Tech_shooting

Please RSVP. Professor Krisna Suryanata and Monique Mironesco will focus on Important Agricultural Lands and Farmers Market respectively. The book features island scholars and writers and addresses the diversity of food challenges that Hawai’i faces. Each of the nine essays describes Hawaiʻi’s foodscapes and collectively makes the case that food is a focal point for public policy making, social activism, and cultural mobilization. It covers controversies over land use policies, a gendered and racialized farming population, benefits and costs of biotechnology, stratified access to nutritious foods, as well as ensuring the economic viability of farms. * Vegetarian chili will be served in a first-come and first-served basis.
