Safety and You
Safety Tips
-
Note the location of the emergency call boxes that are located on campus
- Make sure your vehicle is in good working condition
- Try to keep at least a half tank of gas in your vehicle
- To avoid car jacking: when stopping in traffic, you should be able to see where the rear tires on the vehicle ahead of you touch the pavement
- In the event your car breaks down, do not leave it. If someone stops to help, roll the window down only enough to talk and ask them to call the police for you
- Try to avoid going out alone after dark. If you have to go out, be sure to call someone and let that person know when you are leaving and when you will return
- Consider the purchase of a cellular telephone
- Avoid parking in deserted areas. If possible, try to park under or near a street light
- Listen to your body warning you that something is not right and act on that warning
