If you suspect an intruder is on campus, call Public Safety at (206) 296-5911 or use one of the 'Blue Light' emergency phones located around campus and provide the information requested. Stay on the line until told to hang up.
If you suspect an armed intruder is nearby, try to escape and leave campus, or find a safe location to hide.
If outdoors, find refuge in a nearby building.

Remain calm and quiet.
Wait for police to arrive.
If instructed by authorities to evacuate a building or the campus grounds, follow directions exactly.
If you witness any hostile acts or injuries, contact the authorities as soon as it is safe to do so.
