Illinois State University encourages the entire University community to participate in activities that collectively raise our level of preparedness and institutional resiliency. Stay informed and be prepared, as an emergency can occur at any time. Think ahead and always consider your options. In an emergency remain as calm as possible, remember your training, and do not take unnecessary risks. Knowing how to respond during an emergency is crucial to your personal safety and the well-being of those around you. Every member of the University Community is encouraged to get personally involved in preparedness activities.
