Be mindful that police response will occur as expediently as possible, but in the first few minutes of such an incident you may have to rely on your own actions to ensure your safety.
鈥淲e are pleased to be able to present this virtual course that anyone can access, at any time,鈥� said Garry DeJong, director of Events and Emergency Management at 蜜糖直播 Boulder. 鈥淲e recommend that all 蜜糖直播 affiliates watch the course, possibly making it a group activity for work teams, classes and other groups, to ensure as many people as possible are exposed to this valuable content,鈥� he said.听
