General instructions for all occupants of building:

Anyone suspecting a fire or other emergency should call 9-911 and then call the Campus Police at 2-3111 and give as much information as possible (i.e. building, floor, room number, situation) if time permits. If there is insufficient time, the occupant should activate the building fire alarm. Fire alarm boxes are located near exit doors and/or doors leading to stairwells.

Occupants should attempt to extinguish a fire using portable fire extinguishers only if this can be done safely. It is more important to provide for the safety of building occupants than to attempt to extinguish a fire.

In the event of an evacuation for any reason:

• Turn off all power equipment, gas valves, etc. before vacating area, if possible.
• Secure all items (safe, files, etc.) if possible.
• Take personal belongings with you.
• If you are the last person out, close doors behind you.
• Use nearest available exit to evacuate building.
• Do not use elevators.
• Get clear of the building and stay out of the way of personnel assigned to handle the emergency.
• Go to the assigned assembly point for your class or work unit.
• Assist in accounting for persons who were with your class or group.
• Obey the instructions of your Building and Floor Warden and Police Officers.

Note: Areas of Rescue (places where occupants can await evacuation assistance) are not designated if there is 'same level' access to the outside (no stairs required).
