Napa Valley College’s Lockdown a Lesson in ‘Hyper-Information’
Media Coverage
A nice article from Campus Technology magazine on Napa Valley College and AlertU integration:
Law enforcement from the city of Napa, the Napa County sheriff’s department, the highway patrol, and the college quickly established a security perimeter around the 168-acre campus. A command post was set up in a nearby parking lot. By 1:18 McCarthy had sent out an e-mail to staff and faculty with the subject header, “Urgent Email–Armed Man on Campus.” By 1:31 the campus had sent out a text message via its notification system, AlertU, to college subscribers stating, “Armed man on campus. Stay in the room your [SIC] are in. Search of campus is on going. Suspect is black male in black shorts & red shirt.”
