LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Department has made a series of nine cartoons and posted them on YouTube to remind students about what do in emergencies.
Each video in the “Really Obvious Preparedness Facts” series is about a minute long, and combined, they have 2,200 views.
The department’s emergency preparedness coordinator, Mark Robertson, said he wanted to create the animations, because he thought it would resonate more with college students than a man in his 50s on camera would.
Robertson narrates each cartoon. He says he tries to add humor similar to the animated show “South Park” to increase the likelihood of them being shared on social media websites.
