CSC students learned safety precautions while playing bingo at RLA’s event Doomsday Preppers 7 p.m. Monday. Kent RD, Jazz Bozner, hosted the event in the Gold Room.

“It incorporates bingo with CSC emergency procedures and general precautions to take in extreme situations,” Bozner said.

After every blackout, the winner received a survival prize, and then Bozner read to the group the proper procedure to deal with events such as fires or tornadoes.

“I liked the prize options because they are actually something useful in case something would happen,” Angela Cruz, 20, junior of Valentine, said.

Cruz won a kit that included freeze-dried chicken and rice, a blanket, hand warmers, duct tape, and matches.

She said she will be putting it in her car for emergency situations.

Due to low attendance, all participants who stayed to the end received a kit.

Hot chocolate and fruit snacks were also provided to the 31 students that signed in. Students also came away with new advice.
