Active Shooter Lockdown Drill

At 10:40 a.m. on Monday, all present at MHCC’s Gresham campus will have the opportunity to practice lockdown instructions for an active shooter situation, i.e., one of the options in “Run, Hide, or Fight” scenarios. The short drill helps to reminds students, staff and others of their options on campus or in “other public gatherings, or somewhere else.” Faculty members have been given quick reference guides to provide for students to prepare for this drill.

Note that the lockdown alert tone is distinctly different than the fire evacuation tone used in a recent drill. Counselors are available in Room 1152 for any students experiencing emotional and/or physical stress regarding this drill. Individuals requiring accommodations due to a disability should contact the Disability Services Office at 503-491-6923. Students willing to provide any comments or recommendations are invited to email MHCC’s Public Safety manager: [email protected].
