Ok, so the university has this new alert system for emergencies after what happened a few weeks ago. It sends a text message to your cell so that you can be alerted of danger.
So the other day I was leaving the me building and stopped on the grassy hill area to send a few last e-mails out. While I was there a fire truck showed up, then another, then another. This continued until there were 5 fire trucks (at least one labled Hazmat and one Heavy Rescue), one fire department ambulance, and at least two of their SUVs. Apparently there was no danger, because I never got a text.
I was reading in the paper where the bomb squad had been called to one of the parking structures about a week ago, and there had also been a hazardous chemical spill in the area of the pharmacy building--again, no text messages/e-mails, nothing. The response to this was that "there was no danger to the majority of the campus."
At least I received an e-mail several months ago after an appartent car thief fired shots at campus police and then ran into the campus to hide...of course it was a minimum of 3 hours after it happened that I got the e-mail.
