    III. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

    EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES

    When you call 911 or any other emergency number to request emergency assistance, you will be connected to the Police Dispatch. Call from a safe location and remember to:

    Stay calm.

    Be prepared to answer the following questions:

    • Where is the emergency located?
    • What is the emergency? (fire, medical, hazardous material, etc.)
    • How did it happen?
    • When did it happen?
    • Who are you? (your name)
    You do not need to know all the answers to these questions, but quickly gather as much information as you can. Give a telephone number or safe location where the emergency responders can call or meet you, and wait for the responders at that safe location.
    Gather any other information that may be useful for the emergency responders (e.g. are there any injuries involved?).
    Do not hang up until instructed to do so by the dispatcher.

    When evacuating your building or work area:

    Stay calm, do not rush, and do not panic.
    Safely stop your work.
    Gather your personal belongings if it is safe to do so. (Reminder: take prescription medications out with you if at all possible; it may be hours before you are allowed back in the building.)
    If safe, close your office door and window, but do not lock them.
    Use the nearest safe stairs and proceed to the nearest exit. Do not use the elevator.
    Proceed to the designated Emergency Assembly Area (EAA) and report to your roll taker.
    Wait for any instructions from emergency responders.
    Do not re-enter the building or work area until you have been instructed to do so by the emergency responders.
    Notify the roll taker of the location of any disabled or injured persons still in the building so that appropriate emergency responders can be dispatched. Assist disabled or injured persons only if you are trained and able to do so.

     



    FIRE PROCEDURES

    Immediately notify the fire department by pulling the alarm station. Call 911 (from a campus/public telephone, no coins needed for pay phones) or 642-3333 (from a cell phone) at a safe location to provide details of the situation.
      If trained, able and safe (with a sure and safe exit), use a portable fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire. Evacuate if one extinguisher does not put out the fire.
      Evacuate the building as soon as the alarm sounds and proceed to the EAA.
      On your way out, warn others.
      Use stairs only; do not use elevators.
      Move away from fire and smoke. Close doors and windows if time permits.
