Shelter-in-Place Procedures
General Instructions for All Occupants of building:
Occupants will be notified by Emergency Building or Floor Wardens or Police Personnel of the need to proceed to the Shelter-in-Place location. The location will be identified by individual making the announcement and/or by signs (permanent signage is in progress).
In the event of the need to report to the Shelter-in-Place Location, occupants should:
- Secure all items (safe, files, etc.) if possible.
- Take personal belongings with you.
- If you are the last person out, close doors behind you.
- Go to the location you are told.
- 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: If Designated Shelter-in-Place locations are not yet identified, please use interior areas (safe from broken glass) - interior classrooms and bathrooms are usually ideal locations if necessary. Areas of Rescue (places where occupants can await evacuation assistance) ARE NOT Shelter-in-Place locations.
