If this had been an actual emergency, you would have received specific instructions and been directed to the College of Charleston’s emergency website at emergency.charleston.edu for information.
Now is also a good time to familiarize yourself with the College’s Staying Safe – Emergencies on Campus page, the glossary of common emergency terms and definitions and the AVOID-DENY-DEFEND protocol for reacting to an active aggressor situation.
