Introduction
An emergency situation could occur at any moment.
Depending on the situation - an evacuation may be
ordered. Successful and safe evacuations require
careful planning, and a well-informed building
population.
This training presentation will provide you with information that you
need to know when you receive an order to evacuate.
How will you be notified?
What are the procedures?
What are your responsibilities?
EVACUATION NOTIFICATION

Notification to evacuate will be completed via
the following methods as time and the
situation permit:
Fire alarm
Telephone
Building/Department Safety Coordinators
1040 on the AM dial
Phone Trees…






Are used to provide information to employees via telephone.
May be used during campus off hours to inform employees NOT to come to
campus.
If you are responsible for maintaining a phone tree, it should be reviewed often
to ensure they are up-to-date.
If you are responsible for calling employees, but can’t reach someone who is in
charge of calling another group of employees – you must make their calls for
them.
If you are responsible for calling employees, copies of phone trees should be
made accessible from home or the office.
If you are NOT responsible for calling others, this slide is for your information
only.

BUILDING AND DEPARTMENT SAFETY
COORDINATORS

Building and Department Safety coordinators have been
selected for each campus building. During an emergency
requiring evacuation during regular business hours, these
individuals:
– act as liaison between building occupants and emergency
personnel.
– assist in determining if all occupants have safely evacuated
the building
– are in contact with emergency personnel via walkie-talkie.
– will be wearing an orange vest
A list of coordinators can be obtained from EH&S (8-7422)
EMERGENCY INFORMATION


This is an example of
an emergency information posting.
It can be found posted at the exits
of classrooms, offices and
conference rooms. It includes
the location where occupants
should assemble until further
direction is provided.
Faculty may want to
include a section in their
syllabi that refers to
emergency signs to prompt
student awareness of
posted notices
BUILDING OCCUPANT
RESPONSIBILITIES
Prior to an emergency:
 Review the emergency information posted in each classroom/office/conference room
 Review the campus emergency procedures manual
 Become familiar with exits of buildings in which you teach/work (building maps are
located in building hallways)
During an evacuation order:
 Immediately evacuate the building and proceed to the
designated assembly point. Doing so will help emergency
personnel determine if an occupant rescue is necessary.
 Use the “buddy system” and look out for someone else. Help each other get out of the
building. Be aware of occupants that need help.
 Follow the evacuation procedures, and direction provided by emergency personnel,
building/safety coordinators.

the class they are teaching when an evacuation order is

followed.
Most Department Safety Coordinators are not on campus
during the evening hours. Students will look to instructors
