Your LIS Emergency Preparedness Committee encourages you to take a few minutes out of your busy day and take one of these training sessions.

Knowing how to put a small fire out is critical in fire loss prevention and in Life Safety. On Wednesday, July 22d

we will hold our annual fire extinguisher training for all College employees. Fires can occur any time and knowing

how to use a fire extinguisher can mean the difference of saving a life or a home. Please join us somewhere around McCullough (depending on construction) for a short presentation and hands on practice in putting a fire out.

Times: 9:00 am, 9:30 am, 10:00 am, 10:30 am, 12:00 pm, 12:30 pm, 1:00 pm, 1:30 pm

Each session should run about 20 minutes. Rain date will be July 29th, same times and location. Just show up, no reservations needed.

Let’s all start 2009 off right be taking a moment to think about emergency preparedness. Do you know what to do if a student walks up to you and says “There’s somebody lying on the floor over there, they seem to be passed out or something.” If it’s been a while since you’ve thought about the appropriate response to this and many other situations, please take some time to brush up on your readiness.
