This siren, which sounds to warn the campus community to take shelter from severe weather, is operated by Cobb County Emergency Management. Please note: • A siren test by Cobb County Emergency Management occurs at noon on the first Wednesday of every month. If the threat of severe weather exists on the test date, the test occurs at noon on the following Thursday. A siren test is a steady tone that lasts 30 seconds. • In case of a severe-weather warning, the siren sounds in a steady tone and will continue to sound for three minutes. • The KSU Department of Strategic Security and Safety uses the KSU alert system in extreme weather conditions that includes a siren with voice-over operation. • If you hear a severe-weather warning siren, be sure to seek shelter immediately.
Move to the lowest floor of the building you are in, away from glass doors and windows. If you are in a temporary building, go to the lowest floor of the nearest permanent building. If you are driving, park the car and proceed to the nearest permanent building. If the threat of severe weather is imminent (e.g. if a tornado is sighted), people in vehicles should seek shelter immediately by pulling over to the side of the road and seeking shelter in a ditch or by lying flat on the ground, away from trees and vehicles. • Stay in your safe area on campus until notified by an authority that it is safe to leave. Fire-Alarm Procedures • If you hear the fire alarm, leave the building immediately by proceeding calmly to the nearest exit. • Do not use elevators, as they are unreliable during a fire. • Do not re-enter the building until you are advised that it is safe to do so. Fire Safety Report and Daily Log The Department of Residence Life maintains a campus housing daily fire log and reports all statistics on fires and related injuries, death and loss in campus housing in conjunction with the Annual Crime Report. The Annual Fire Safety Report for Campus Housing includes information on fire statistics and the fire log; fire safety systems; fire drills; procedures for evacuation of campus housing; policies on portable electrical appliances; smoking and open flames in campus housing, fire safety education and training programs, reporting of fire safety information, and any applicable plans for future improvements in fire safety. The full report is available online at http://www.kennesaw.edu/police/ firesafetyreport2011.pdf. SEXUAL ASSAULT: Myths and Reality Harassment/Stalking Harassment is a pattern of conduct intended to intrude into someone’s private life with intimidation and unwanted harassing by verbal, electronic or written communication. Stalking is a series of actions that make you feel afraid or in danger. Stalking is serious, often dangerous and usually escalates over time. Some things stalkers do: • Follow you, or show up wherever you are • Repeatedly call, text or email you • Threaten to hurt you, your family or pets Rape Rape is a crime of violence. The rapist overpowers and dominates another person who does NOT consent to the sexual act. Having sex with another person without consent is always considered rape ¬– even in cases where the victim knows the rapist. The victim is never responsible for rape, which is a serious criminal offense. What is date rape? When we think of rape, we often picture a stranger attacking a woman in a dark alley. But it’s important to realize that a boss, coworker, classmate, date or family member may be a potential rapist. When the victim knows the rapist, the crime is known as acquaintance or date rape. You might not think that a friend or classmate could be a rapist. Yet there have been many cases where college students go on dates that turn into nightmares – because the woman was forced to have sex against her will. The important point to remember is that “If she says NO, he needs to stop.” Kennesaw State University is committed to providing programs, activities, and an educational environment free from sex discrimination. Programs on the prevention and response to acts of sexual violence are provided by Residence Life professionals and student staff during orientation, in hall talks and throughout the year in special events. Further, KSU police officers conduct educational programs and self-defense classes with college women to teach them about the prevalence of both stranger and non-stranger sexual assaults, as well as what constitutes a non-forcible sexual offense. What to do if you are sexually assaulted? If you are sexually assaulted, be sure to take the following steps: 1. Report the incident as soon as possible to one of the following: The KSU DPS, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
