Like many students this fall, I received an email from my school asking me to sign up for a campus text-messaging service so I can be notified if there is an emergency on campus. I signed up, knowing full well that this was most likely a reaction to the tragedy at Virginia Tech. The email went on to describe the various other measures the school would use to get in touch with the campus, including phone calls, emails, and sirens. But nowhere was there any info about what to do in an emergency--any emergency. Wouldn't it be good to know what to do if I see a fire on campus? Or who should I call if I witness a car accident? Or even where is the counseling center, in case I want to show one of my friends where to get help? Don't the thousands of people who received the same email about the text messaging need that info, too?
