Security tips of an ISU police officer to prepare for the spring holidays – daily state iowa – iowa state

When spring outbreaks rise, it is important that the students know how to protect themselves all week. Natasha Greene, police officer of the state of Iowa State Public Safety, gave tips to prepare the students for the spring break.

Greene remembered those who lived in the city for the spring holidays.

“Things like ensuring that our residence is closed and secured that we have stuck everything we can in the residence and that windows are closed,” said Green. “Everything that not only protects against concerns about theft, but also ensures that other water -based or weather -based emergencies do not appear at home while they are gone.”

Green said that those who travel their break should plan their security in advance, which enables more fun.

“Make sure people know their travel route, someone they know and trust, knows their travel route,” said Greene. “Communicate where you go when you arrive there, either the buddy system or a small group of people you trust who go with you.”

She also mentioned that when the students go alone, technology use.

“Regardless of whether it is the Safe app of the Iowa State Safe or other GPS sharing functions to share your location with someone you trust to have this information,” said Greene.

Greene said he should always charge her phone while traveling and bring a portable charger.

“When I travel, it seems that I would go through my phone faster battery than I usually,” said Greene. “Our telephone as a tool is only useful if our phone has a battery. So it is a good way to bring a portable charger to ensure that this is done.”

Greene said that it can be useful to bring other safety instruments into the spring holidays, but sometimes with limited flying.

“Your hands, your feet, your voice are all self -defense tools,” said Greene.

Finally, Greene said to travel with someone you trust.

“Bring someone you trust and with whom you feel comfortable, with the fact that there will be someone there who will support you if it is a security emergency or a medical emergency or a medical emergency, regardless of emergency, regardless of an emergency if it loses a security emergency or a medical emergency, and you not only hold on to your own crisis,” said Greene.

For those who add substance use of their break, the students should know their limits and know when to call the first aiders to immediately provide the needy.

Greene said he should use the acronym “cups” to recognize alcohol poisoning.

• C: Cold skin
• U: not reacting

In addition, Greene is that the spring holidays are a time to refuel and charge.

“We know that the students work, study, go to school, go to school, go to campus or off campus jobs, are involved in all extracurricular behavior and that requires a lot of energy,” said Greene. “This is a time to recharge this energy and deal with some of the well -being practices that the students know about them, but do not always take time during class or during the week. This can also include adding new well -being practices that you still had no time to explore you, but which you want over the spring break, and this is really something that you can carry out by the end of the semester in order to be successful. “

Greene would like to encourage students to do at least one for their intellectual and physical health during the break.

“I think it's just helpful as a reminder that we deserve to take care of ourselves,” said Greene.
