Lost Child:
Parents or a designated responsible adult should advise children to seek a law enforcement officer if they are lost or become separated.  Parents or a designated responsible adult may call Lock Haven Campus Police at 570-484-2278 or report their lost child to the nearest police officer or security personnel.  It is important to provide a description (clothing, age, last known location, etc.) Parents should carry a photograph or have an electronic picture of their children.  Parents may also want to (1) photograph their children with a cell phone before the game/event, (2) leave their contact information in their children’s pocket, and (3) have a designated meeting location should they become separated.
 
Evacuation:
Should the need arise to evacuate an athletic venue for severe weather (most common), all participants should immediately exit the venue following instructions provided by the public address system, event staff, or emergency responders.
 
- Leave in a calm, orderly fashion through the nearest gate.  (This may not be the gate you entered.)  Please continue to move away from the venue so that those behind you have room to exit and are not hindered.
 
- Keep in mind that it will take some time to evacuate a venue.  Please do not push the crowd but try to keep moving.  This will permit a quicker and more efficient evacuation. 
 
- Please watch out for and help people with special needs.
 
- If an evacuation were ordered, in most cases it is recommended that guests return to their vehicles and leave the area.  In some situations, such as severe weather, it may be advisable to leave the venue, but seek nearby shelter.

You may need to take shelter during a severe weather event. During an incident requiring individuals to take shelter, visitors will be directed to locations or buildings closest to the area. Instructions will be provided by the public address system, event staff or emergency responders.
 
Mobility Impairment:
Persons with mobility impairment who need assistance evacuating will be assisted by event staff or emergency responders.
