BUILDING EVACUATION PLAN
[ Revised 02/12 ]
INTRODUCTION
An "evacuation" is defined as the emptying of an occupied area and the transference of occupants to
a safe location. The need to evacuate may be caused by any hazard – natural, technological or
human – that threatens the UC Davis campus.
The Building Evacuation Plan is the first part of a department's Emergency Action Plan. The
department's Building Evacuation Plan also links with the UC Davis Campus' Emergency
Operations Plan (EOP). The campus EOP coordinates the safe evacuation of students, staff, and
faculty from building assembly areas to zone assembly areas and, if necessary, to a mass care
facility. For more details, refer to Appendix F in the campus EOP.
The Entomology Building Evacuation Protocol complies with the California Code of Regulations,
Title 8, Section 3220; the California Education Code, Parts 40 & 59 - Chapter C4.1, Section 66210
and Chapter 6, Section 94600; Title 19, Sections 3.09 & 3.13; and UC Davis Policy & Procedure
290-05.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROTOCOL
The Department Safety Coordinator shall: (1) Conduct annual evacuation drills for the department
or unit, (2) know the location of all fire extinguishers, pull alarms and first aid kits, and (3) assure
evacuation routes are posted and walkways remain clear at all times.
Department Safety Coordinator Duties During an Evacuation:
 To the extent it is safe, systematically check all areas to assure they have been evacuated.
 Recruit and post helpers along evacuation routes to guide evacuees to the Building Assembly
Area [ See below ].
 Assist differently-abled persons to evacuate safely.
 Work to keep employees calm and informed.
 If ordered by the on-scene Incident Commander, direct all personnel to the Zone Assembly
Area [ To be designated by the on-scene Incident Commander ].
 If ordered by the on-scene Incident Commander, inform personnel when it is safe to re-enter
buildings. After a major earthquake, persons may not re-enter their building until it has been
cleared by a qualified building inspector.
Warnings and Alarms:
Three types of warnings are used to notify Entomology personnel to evacuate a building: 1) Fire
alarms, horns, and flashing lights; 2) verbal warnings, either in person or by loudspeaker; and/or
3) the campus radio station KDVS 90.3 FM.
Prior to Exiting:
After hearing the alarm to evacuate, stop all work activities and exit the room. If time permits,
each person will gather their personal items [ e.g., car keys ], turn off their computer equipment
[ CPU, monitor, printer, etc. ], de-power experimental equipment, lock away sensitive items,
leave the lights on and close, but do not lock, the door upon leaving the room [ locked doors
can hamper rescue operations ].
The person responsible for roll call will take the personnel list before leaving the building.
Evacuation Routes are posted in each room with the personnel list located behind it in the
Appendix III, Page 2 of 17
sleeve. The map shows the primary route evacuees will take to exit the building. Walk, do
not run, to an emergency exit, then go to your assigned Building Assembly Area.
BUILDING ASSEMBLY AREA
After exiting the building, employees, students, and visitors will follow the evacuation route to the
pre-arranged Building Assembly Area (refer to the posted evacuation route maps). Once at the
Building Assembly Area, report to the person taking roll call in order to be counted and to report
any injuries. The person taking roll call is responsible for reporting the count and any injuries to a
designated Safety Officer (a Department Safety Coordinator or other individual). The Safety
Officer is responsible for informing the on-scene Incident Commander of the status of employees.
If an employee is in immediate danger, report the location of the person directly to the nearest
emergency responder. During inclement weather, evacuees will be directed to an alternate Building
Assembly Area.
The following information lists the person(s) responsible for taking Roll Call, the designated Safety
Officer(s) and the Building Assembly Area for each Building/Unit of the Department of
Entomology. Find your particular Building/Unit and become familiar with the information
presented and names of individuals to whom you should report in case of an evacuation.

Managements Office by phone (752-1774), and
2. Obtain and complete the UCD Employer’s Report of Occupational Injury or
Illness Form.
C. An injury on Friday afternoon may be reported on Monday. Forms are available in the

D. Injuries Resulting from bites and scratches require additional reporting to Yolo County
Officials due to specific risk of infection by rabies susceptible animals.
1. Immediately after a bite or scratch follow the appropriate first aid procedure to
treat the injury and reduce the risk of infection
2. When such an injury occurs a bite report form must be filled out and is available
at: http://safetyservices.ucdavis.edu/programs-and-services/occupationalhealth/forms-1/BiteReport.pdf
3. Bites or scratches involving research or teaching animals must be reported to the
campus veterinarian in addition to the county. The animal bite form can be faxed
to 754-4350 or email to AnimalTransfer@ucdavis.edu
IV. GUIDANCE FOR INFLUENZA SEASON AND PANDEMIC PLANNING
A. Flu viruses are most active from November to March and are highly contagious. Person to
person transmission can occur from up to 6 feet away and can be spread before symptoms
occur. There is no cure for flu and it must run its course in the body but there are
preventative measures one can take to reduce the risk of getting infected an passing it on
to others.
1. Get an annual flu shot. It is the first and most important step in prevention.
Annual vaccines protect against both H3N2 Influenza A, Influenza B, and H1N1
Influenza A that emerged in 2009
Appendix III, Page 16 of 17
2. Practice good hygiene by hand washing frequently with soap and water and using
alcohol-based hand sanitizers
3. Cover you nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing with a tissue. If no tissue
is available use you sleeve, not your hands.
4. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. You can pick up viruses in the
absense of other sick people by touching doors, rails, and handles and transfering
them to easy points of entry on your body.
5. As soon as you develop flu-like symptoms, stay home. Some work can be done
from home and you will prevent the spread of the virus which can have more
serious symptoms than you may experience. There is a high degree of variation
in how a single strain may effect individuals in a population.
B. Flu viruses are constantly mutating and often become so virulent and symptoms so
serious that the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention classify these outbreaks as a
Pandemic, a worldwide outbreak. A virus of this nature arriving and spreading on campus
is inevitable given the many locations students and faculty hail from, travel to, and the
many visitors the campus receives.
1. Staying informed with up to date information from the Student Health Center and
California Department of Public Health[ph. (888) 865-0564] or subscribe to
email updates by emailing listproc@ucdavis.edu and putting in the message
body: sub pandemicplans <first name><last name>
2. Follow the same preventative measures as you would for any flu.
3. The Department of Entomology has developed continuity plans through UC
Ready in the event of a pandemic or natural disaster, which outlines plans for
continuance of critical functions disseminating information and strategies during
the event and actions items before event occurs to lessen the impact.
4. In a lab enviroment PI’s should discuss with their researchers protocols for
“hibernating” the lab in the event of prolonged inactivity due to extended absense
of employees
5. Online applications are available through http://iet.ucdavis.edu for professors and
instructors to convert classroom material to distance learning material in the
event of a pandemic
