Emergency Protocols In Response to Incidents of Anthrax
In response to the recent cases in the United States involving the anthrax bacteria, Carnegie Mellon has taken measures to heighten awareness and increase precautionary measures on campus. The Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Department, University Police and the University Postal Service have established anthrax emergency protocols.
Efforts have been made to notify members of the university community about appropriate actions to take. EHS has published a Web site listing characteristics of a "suspicious" letter or package and what individuals should do and not do when receiving mail that looks suspicious. Email was sent to faculty, staff and students publicizing the Web site and urging members of the community to contact University Police (8-2323) if they are concerned about a mail package, letter or substance.
EHS says suspicious-looking mail may be unexpected packages from someone unfamiliar to you. More.. |
