In this class participants will learn techniques for maintaining their stance and footing, escaping from several different grabs, and working as a team with their friends and allies. We will be doing physical drills and practicing movements to help maintain and regain physical autonomy, as well as running through verbal and non-verbal communication strategies to make ourselves and those around us safer and more capable in self-defense situations.

Charlie has been teaching deescalation and principles of combat arts since 2021. In approaching this work, he centers consent, joy, and trust-building. He is constantly learning from the people he teaches, and realizes that “defense” is incredibly subjective and contextual. Each of you has survived so much already, and only you know what will work for you! As an instructor, Charlie hopes to give you tools to hone your survival skills, build your confidence and self-worth, deepen your relationship to yourself and others, and be even more badass than you ever thought possible.

Shoreline Community College will have a scheduled Evacuation Exercise of the 5000 Building on Wed., May 25, 2016. The intent of the exercise is to practice the quick evacuation of all three levels to ensure that, in the event of a true emergency, our campus members feel confident in how to respond. While this may be a brief disruption in our day, the value of practicing what to do and where to go is immeasurable.
Several Building Evacuation Monitors (trained volunteer employees) will take part in the exercise and will assist security officers with the evacuation. Please follow their direction and lead. When the alarm sounds on May 25, safely and quickly exit the 5000 Building and proceed to the nearest evacuation site. Signage outside the 5000 Building will indicate we are conducting a training exercise.
Please share this information with occupants of the building. While this is a practice exercise, we anticipate everyone’s commitment to evacuate. As the Security Department is on the first level of the building, please be advised that Security office staff will also be required to exit the building.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation. We plan to exercise additional buildings each quarter. For additional information or questions, please contact Director Robin Blacksmith at 206-546-4503 or rblacksmith@shoreline.edu
Learning what to do in the event of an emergency saves lives. Many employees and some students have completed the Get Ready Take Action – All-Hazards Emergency Preparedness Training, either in person or online. Many have viewed the posted training videos for a violent event in progress, or completed additional courses such as Incident Command 100 and 200 for Higher Education. Some have created small emergency kits for their car or workspace. As a community, we continue to strive towards being prepared to face an emergency event.

On Wednesday, April 22, 2015, the 2nd Annual EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS KIT DAY will take place in the main lobby of the PUB, Building 9000. The event occurs from 10:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. and is open to everyone.
Back by popular demand, the event supports the idea that we hope we will never have to use the kit, but a number of things could happen in our daily lives that could cause us to need an emergency kit.
Stop by to learn how to better prepare yourself for an emergency incident at work, home, and on the road. See the many ideas and options available for pre-made kits, do it yourself lists, and emergency food and water storage preparation. Take the short, fun quiz to test your knowledge on emergency readiness on campus.
We are excited to announce we will be drawing the name of the employee who attended Winter Quarter’s “Get Ready Take Action” Training and entered the drawing for a new Grab ‘n Go Emergency Kit. The kit is self-contained in a backpack with a 3 day supply of emergency products.
We are grateful to the sponsors that will be supporting this educational event, including: Shelf Reliance – Thrive Foods, Costco, Sam’s Club, the SCC Safety Committee, Student Leadership, and SCC Emergency Management.
We look forward to seeing you there!
