Evacuation

Evacuation of a Building | Campus EMA Zones | Evacuation to a Campus EMA Zone | Evacuation From Campus

Before an emergency, determine the nearest exit to your location, the safest route to follow, and alternate exits.  Building evacuation routes are posted in campus buildings.  Leave immediate area, but remain available to emergency personnel.  If time permits during an evacuation, secure your workplace and take personal items such as keys, purse, medication, and glasses.  In fire or other dangerous conditions, evacuate immediately leaving personal items behind.

Evacuation of a Building

  1. Walk do not run
  2. Do not use elevators
  3. Seek out people with special needs and provide assistance (the Department of Public Safety will provide assistance, 6-5444)
  4. Gather outside at your designated building staging area, where your supervisor will take roll and account for all personnel.  Fill in your building's designated assembly point in the space below.
  5. If you cannot return to your building, wait for instructions from the Department of Public Safety, your building manager, or other individual in charge

Campus EMA Zones

The campus crisis plan organizes sections of the campus into emergency management area (EMA) zones in the event of a crisis affecting the whole campus or a section of campus.  Each EMA zone has an EMA coordinator, who works with your building manager.  Identify your EMA zone by finding your building location and corresponding zone on the chart below.  

Evacuation to a Campus EMA Zone

In the event of a major hazardous situation specific to campus, it may be necessary to relocate university personnel to an emergency management area (EMA) listed below.  Your building manager will work with the assigned EMA coordinator for your area should this need arise.  EMA coordinators provide updates of the emergency and information about resources.
