Building Evacuation

The purpose of any evacuation is to empty a building or area of all occupants as quickly and safely as possible.

In cases requiring the evacuation of one building (fire, explosion, bomb threat), occupants should proceed to the designated meeting area.

General Evacuation

When orders are given to evacuate one building or multiple buildings after a major disaster, occupants should proceed to the evacuation meeting area as directed by the Office of Safety and Security.

The Office of Safety and Security and/or other emergency personnel will be available to direct occupants to safe areas.

Evacuation of disabled and injured persons will be given the highest priority. They will be evacuated in the most expeditious and safest means available.

Occupants should gather in the predetermined meeting assembly area and await further instructions.

Do not re-enter the building(s) until instructed to do so by the Office of Safety and Security.
