Evacuation Procedure
Evacuating Buildings
- Faculty who are teaching Â鶹´«Ã½ at the time of the emergency are responsible for the orderly evacuation of the class and should be the last one out of the classroom to verify evacuation for responders.Â
- DO NOTÂ take time to turn off computers, printers, or office lights. Close, but do not lock, your office door.
- Exit the building through the closest exit. Do not attempt to use the elevator during an emergency.
- All personnel should be familiar with the exit paths for their areas and use the shortest path possible.
- Proceed in an orderly manner as quickly as possible to the nearest exit and then to the designated reporting area.
- Stay in the designated reporting area until you are instructed to leave. This way an accurate head count can be taken. Faculty and lab assistants are responsible for students.
- Upon arrival of University Police, the building coordinator will assist them in whatever manner they request or direct. Â鶹´«Ã½ City Fire personnel and/or the university police will clear the building, checking elevators, areas for the use of the physically disabled, and laboratory areas in the building.Â
- Silenced emergency alarms DO NOT mean the building is clear and safe to re-enter. Alarms are silenced so that emergency response personnel are able to communicate with each other. DO NOT RE-ENTER THE BUILDING for any reason until instructed to do so by the fire department or police officials.
