In observance of National Preparedness Month, Metropolitan State University of Denver and fellow Auraria Campus institutions are hosting a series of community events and classes throughout September. National Preparedness Month aims to raise awareness about the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies that could happen anytime on or off campus, from severe weather to active harmer situations.

National Preparedness Month activities include:

• Active Harmer Response Trainings – Sept. 20 (CU Denver) 2-3:30 p.m., Sept. 23 (AHEC) Noon–1:30 p.m.
• Future dates through AHEC can be found here.
• Stop-the-Bleed trainings – Sept. 27, 10-11 a.m.; Sept. 29, 2-3 p.m.
• Build-a-Kit Courses– future dates to be posted here in collaboration with CU Denver.

• For additional AHEC-offered trainings, please click here.

Additionally, stay tuned for more information on campus engagement, Continuity of Operations planning workshops, a fire-station tour and more.

The Auraria Campus strives to be a safe and inviting place for all members of our institutions, and the MSU Denver Department of Facilities encourages all Roadrunners to bring preparedness tips and ideas home to family and friends as well.

If there are trainings you would like to see offered, please send your ideas to the MSU Denver Department of Facilities.
