Evacuation of Residence
In case of a Building-wide Evacuation, the residence will be evacuated systematically by following standard mass evacuation procedures. You MUST evacuate when directed to do so.
When an evacuation is necessary, verbal orders will be given by building staff and/or emergency personnel.
Evacuation Procedures:
Evacuate using the nearest safe exit.
Do not use elevators unless instructed to do so by emergency personnel.
When you reach your designated gathering point, stay in the area.
Listen for directions from Residence Staff and Emergency Personnel.
Re-enter the building only when instructed to do so by police, fire, emergency response personnel or Residence Staff.
Evacuation techniques are carefully selected, keeping safety in mind. Hazards may exist that you are not aware of, so please follow directions carefully.
If you are given a specific route to take while evacuating, take that route to avoid walking into a toxic spill, fire, or other life-threatening situation.
Report to Public Safety personnel, Fire Wardens or any emergency personnel present the exact location of any person with accessibility issues.
