BUILDING EVACUATION

Department heads are responsible for instructing their employees on the emergency evacuation routes for their areas.  Evacuation routes should be posted in visible areas near exits, if possible.  At the beginning of each semester, faculty should instruct students of the emergency evacuation route for their classroom room and designate an assembly point outside of the building.

• All building evacuations will occur when an alarm sounds and/or upon notification by Public Safety, Connect Ed, Plant Operations staff or Building Representative.
• When the building evacuation alarm is activated during an emergency, leave by the emergency evacuation route for the area in which you are located.  If the exit is blocked use the nearest marked exit and alert others to do the same.
• Assist the handicap in exiting the building.  Do not use the elevators in case of fire and/or potential power loss.
• Once outside, proceed to a clear area that is at least 500 feet away from affected building.  Keep streets, fire lanes, hydrant areas and walkways clear for emergency vehicles and personnel.  Identify an assembly point for your group to congregate once outside.
• DO NOT RETURN to an evacuated building unless instructed to do so by a College official.

   

IMPORTANT:  After the evacuation, report to your designated assembly point.  Remain in the designated assembly point until all personnel are accounted for or until directed to return to the building.

CAMPUS AREA EVACUATION

• Evacuation of all or part of the campus grounds will be announced by Public Safety. 
• All persons are to immediately vacate the area in question and move to another part of campus as directed.  Building Representatives are responsible for aiding handicap persons.  NOTE: Stay in the area designated until permission to return to the building is given.
