After the Virgina Tech. shooting, I along with many other student questioned the safety on our own campus. I was able to talked to Police chief Jack Pearson for the California State University Long Beach (CSULB) campus. He talk about three phases that are involved in a crisis. The threes are: planning and practice, emergency managing (during the situation) and recovery (how to get back to where it was). He also talked the possibility of the school completely falling down, and the mobile command center. "It [the mobile command center] allows the university to continue to function even during a disaster," Pearson said. CSULB's full time emergency service coordinator, Sargent Scott Brown, showed me the mobile center. Brown said that the mobile unit has everything needed to run the school in a crisis.
