Recycled Paper Active Shooter SITUATIONS In an Active Shooter Situation, you will have decisions to make immediately. Remember, an active shooter situation is unpredictable and evolves quickly. Because active shooter situations are often over within 10 to 15 minutes, before law enforcement may arrive on the scene, you as an individual must be prepared mentally and physically to deal with an active shooter situation. HOW TO RESPOND WHEN AN ACTIVE SHOOTER IS IN YOUR VICINITY Quickly determine the most reasonable way to protect your own life.

WHEN CALLING FOR HELP ( 911), remember to give the location of the active shooter, the number of shooters, if more than one. A physical description of shooter(s), the number and type of weapons held by the shooter(s) and most importantly the number of potential victims as well as their location. WHEN LAW ENFORCEMENT ARRIVES REMEMBER: • The first officers to arrive to the scene will not stop to help injured persons. They are there for one purpose, to STOP the threat. • Keep hands visible at all times and avoid making quick, jerky movements toward officers. • Avoid pointing, screaming and/or yelling. • Do not stop to ask officers for help or direction when evacuating, just proceed in the direction from which officers are entering the premises. • Try to remain calm and listen to the instructions of the officers responding. • Give the location and physical description of the shooter if you can. • If you are still in the building, you will be given instructions on when and how to safely exit by Law Enforcement Officers.

  • Tol, Xeer, and Somalinimo: Recognizing Somali And
    Tol , Xeer , and Somalinimo : Recognizing Somali and Mushunguli Refugees as Agents in the Integration Process A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Vinodh Kutty IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY David M. Lipset July 2010 © Vinodh Kutty 2010 Acknowledgements A doctoral dissertation is never completed without the help of many individuals. And to all of them, I owe a deep debt of gratitude. Funding for this project was provided by two block grants from the Department of Anthropology at the University of Minnesota and by two Children and Families Fellowship grants from the Annie E. Casey Foundation. These grants allowed me to travel to the United Kingdom and Kenya to conduct research and observe the trajectory of the refugee resettlement process from refugee camp to processing for immigration and then to resettlement to host country. The members of my dissertation committee, David Lipset, my advisor, Timothy Dunnigan, Frank Miller, and Bruce Downing all provided invaluable support and assistance. Indeed, I sometimes felt that my advisor, David Lipset, would not have been able to write this dissertation without my assistance! Timothy Dunnigan challenged me to honor the Somali community I worked with and for that I am grateful because that made the dissertation so much better. Frank Miller asked very thoughtful questions and always encouraged me and Bruce Downing provided me with detailed feedback to ensure that my writing was clear, succinct and organized. I also have others to thank. To my colleagues at the Office of Multicultural Services at Hennepin County, I want to say “Thank You Very Much!” They all provided me with the inspiration to look at the refugee resettlement process more critically and dared me to suggest ways to improve it.

Since the early days of the Boy Scouts of America, young Scouts have been in the outdoors exploring it’s beauty and all that Mother Nature has to offer. We are very fortunate here in the heart of the Laurel Highlands to have many camps and properties right at our fingertips. Although each facility is different; each has it’s own attractions that make it unique from the others while still providing a quality program to the countless number of Scouts and Scouters who enter each weekend. Dr. E. Urner Goodman the founder of the Order of the Arrow once said “The order is a thing of the Outdoors.” With this statement in mind Wagion Lodge #6 undertook the project to produce this guide and make it available to all units across the council.

  • FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 1 – October 7, 2020
    Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry PENNSYLVANIA WEEKLY FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 1 – October 7, 2020 TIOGA CAMERON BRADFORD To predict peak season from the colors, use these guidelines: ➢ Dark Green/No Change= peak is three weeks to a month away ➢ Light Green/Starting to Change= peak is approximately two to three weeks away ➢ Yellow/Approaching Best Color= peak is approximately one week away ➢ Orange/Best Color= foliage is peaking this week ➢ Red/Starting to Fade= still some nice color but won’t last more than a few more days ➢ Brown/Past Peak= all or nearly all color is gone Statewide Fall Foliage Overview What a difference a week makes! Cold and frosty nights and very dry conditions have ushered in marked changes across the northern tier, where foliage is at its spectacular peak. Sugar and red maples are the stars of the show, contrasting beautifully with the still-green oak canopies. Another cold snap could jumpstart much of the Appalachian and Allegheny mountain regions, setting the table for back to back weeks of fantastic fall foliage viewing opportunities across wide swaths of the commonwealth. Northwestern Region The district manager in Cornplanter State Forest District (Warren, Erie counties) reports that cooler nights have spurred fall colors in northwest Pennsylvania. Many oaks are still quite green, but maples (sugar and red) are displaying brilliant colors. Aspen, hickory, and birch are continuing to color the landscape with warm yellow hues. Route 6 to Chapman State Park is a recommended fall foliage corridor in Warren County. Exciting fall color can be found at Chapman State Park.

  • Lake Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan
    Lake Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan Prepared For: Carver County Parks October 2002 Prepared By: Brauer & Associates, Ltd. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Acknowledgments Overview In November of 2001, Carver County Board of Commissioners retained Brauer & Associates, Ltd. to work with county staff and local citizens to complete a comprehensive master plan for Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. This document represents the results of the planning process, which was completed in the fall of 2002. The consultant team would like to thank Carver County for undertaking an open and constructive public Acknowledgments participation process for the project. This approach allowed for various perspectives to be considered on important planning issues that affected the master plan for the park. Through this process, it is believed that a responsible balance between human use of the park and its ecological protection was achieved. The consultant team would also like to thank the Carver County Parks Commission and Carver County Board for participating in this project. Their individual and collective insights were instrumental in drawing conclusions that are reasonable and responsible. The consultant team also extends a heartfelt thank you to the Carver County staff, especially Marty Walsh, County Parks Director and Roger Gustafson, County Engineer. The openness with which they approached this project paved the way for an open public process that considered all opinions to be of equal merit and worthy of due consideration. Their understanding of the larger regional context and pressing park needs and how Lake Minnewashta Park fits into the larger regional park picture was also of high value as final conclusions were drawn.
