A campus-wide disaster drill for Loma Linda University Health occurred Thursday, April 25. The drill began at 9:45 a.m. to 10:15 for the university and concluded with a wrap-up session, while medical center and the incident commands continued until the drill suspended at approximately 11:00 a.m.

Titled “Code: Silver,” the drill focused on planning and responding to an active shooter on campus. Local law enforcement, Fire, and county EMS agencies, as well as Arrowhead Regional Medical Center played roles in the drill as support to the event. The primary location of the “shooter” event was in the Del Webb Memorial Library.

Members of the media were on hand to chronicle the drill, including KCAL 9, ABC LA 7, KESQ, and Inland Empire Weekly newspaper.

Faculty, students, and staff received notifications via text, email, and phone calls (If you have not set your preferences for notifications, please see http://myllu.llu.edu/profile/contactInfoEdit).
