In an effort to keep our college community safe in the event of an emergency, NMC will be conducting an important safety drill Friday, Nov. 1 from 3:30–4:30 p.m. in Scholar’s Hall.
The goal of the event is to review our roles in an emergency, learn what first responders expect from us and how we can improve our responsiveness.
Scholar’s Hall will be closed during that time except for those participating in the exercise. Participants will include the College’s Leadership Group, Emergency Management Teams and The Traverse City Police Department.
NMC will also be testing its emergency communication system during this exercise, but will indicate that it is only a drill.
Please note this drill will include a reenactment scenario designed to simulate an active shooter situation. During the drill, officers will fire four blank shots. While they are not live ammunition, they will sound real.
NMC follows guidelines set out by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA.) To review emergency training, please use this coursework through FEMA’s National Incident Management System. This information is also available on the NMC employee website under Emergency Management Training Resources.
