Active Shooter / Armed Intruder
We strongly recommend that everyone view a video about active shooters that is recommended
by the FBI: www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/safety-resources/active-shooter-safety-resources
Our campus protocol is as follows:
- If an active shooter is present, you will be notified by an IWUAlert message of the
issue and area of concern. In accordance with the guidance in the video, you should
either evacuate (if that can be done safely) or secure your location.
- Bloomington Police will be responsible for all instructions once they arrive on the
scene. Any additional updates will be provided via IWUAlert and email.
- An IWUAlert will notify the campus community when the crisis is under control. A notice will also be posted on banners on the University website.
Please use the IWU Alert system to include a trusted adult cell phone number so they
may also receive alerts when you do. We will post announcements to our website to
keep the community informed.
