				<link>http://www.sotech.edu/apps/news/article/2112692</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.sotech.edu/apps/news/article/2112692</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[SouthernTech has proudly adopted the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) from The "I Love U Guys" Foundation!

The SRP provides five simple, consistent actions and common language for any emergency:

  -Hold
  -Secure
  -Lockdown
  -Evacuate
  -Shelter

This clarity helps our students, staff, and first responders act quickly and effectively, ensuring a predictable and safe response every time.]]></description>
