Crisis Response Procedures
- Charleston Southern University has a Crisis Response Team and a comprehensive plan in place to respond to a variety of emergencies.
- The University’s security staff is augmented by North Charleston police in the event of an emergency.
- All 911 calls to local authorities are also automatically directed to campus security, which then acts as the first aid responders.
- In the event of a mass tragedy, campus security would close the access points to and from the campus in order to secure the campus in a lockdown status.
- The University’s crisis response plan calls for University members to report to assigned locations and utilizes all of the campus’ technology to communicate to personnel campus-wide.
- This technology includes telephone, bullhorns, truck-mounted loud speakers, mobile sirens and computer technology.
IRIS (Immediate Response Information System) is reserved for emergency situations that include immediate, identifiable threats to the campus. IRIS is not used for non-specific and/or unsubstantiated threats.
