There will be no vehicle access to the Pullen Hall lot. Alternate parking will be available in the Dan Allen Parking Deck. Pedestrians will be able to access all buildings along Cates Avenue.

Public safety officers will be present to observe the exercise; please follow their directions if you are in the area during the exercise. Participants in the exercise include University Housing resident advisers and resident directors, NC State police and other local emergency personnel, University Emergency Operations officials and volunteer actors.
