April 11, 2025: Collegewide Emergency Preparedness Drill
On Friday, April 11, 2025, the Office of Public Safety, Health, and Emergency Management will conduct a collegewide Run, Hide, Fight exercise. At MC, we have adopted the national standard of active attacker response, most commonly known as Run, Hide, Fight. The exercise on April 11, 2025 is mandatory as required by the Maryland Safe to Learn Act. It is designed to test the College’s emergency notification systems and to provide an opportunity for the College community to practice responding to an active attacker event. The focus of the drill is to practice what actions you would take during an active attacker situation. This exercise will NOT include any police response or presence on the campuses. Public Safety personnel will use this exercise to practice building lockdown protocols, and for the College community to participate in a Run, Hide, Fight exercise.
