vitalvoices hosts ‘Situational Awareness’ Feb. 15 & March 28
UHD Center for Public Service and Community Research hosts it first vitalvoices event of 2023: “Situational Awareness: What to Do When You Don’t Know What to Do,” on February 15 and again on March 28.
The Campus Community is invited to learn from UHD’s very own in-house expert, Lt. Trinity Delafance of the UHD Police Department, who will discuss the latest research on situational awareness with regard to an active shooter situation
beyond the rehashing of the “‘run, hide, fight” response. The in-person session will include a simulation as well as a historic overview of active shooter events in the U.S., a look into case studies, review of emergency response plans, and how to create your own survival mindset.
