Safety of our people is the highest priority. Knowing what to do in an emergency is critical to your safety:
-
If you discover an emergency situation, call 911. Remain calm and use common sense.
-
Depending on the situation, evacuate or shelter-in-place.  To determine your safest response, see the Emergency Procedures Poster.
-
Evacuate immediately upon request of authorities, upon hearing an alarm, or when remaining inside is dangerous or life-threatening.
-
Stay inside and move to an interior room if exiting the building is dangerous.
-
-
Make one phone call to your out of town family contact and be brief; do not use the telephone again unless it is a life-threatening emergency.
-
Protect yourself. Do not jeopardize your life or the lives of others by attempting to save personal or University property.
-
Assist others, but do not exceed your training or knowledge when attempting to render first aid.
-
Follow instructions from authorities. Do not cross official police barriers without authorization.
-
Limit travel; keep the roads free for emergency vehicles.
