When the fire alarms sounds and the strobes are activated, or upon notification by Campus Public Safety (CPSO Officer) or emergency responders, occupants must evacuate the building and assemble at the predetermined evacuation locations listed below.
- If time and conditions permit, gather your most important items. Consider things you would need to get back into the building or to leave campus (ID, wallet, keys, etc.).
- Leave by the nearest marked exit and alert others in your area to do the same.
- Before opening any closed doors, check the door for heat with the back of your hand. Do not open if the door is hot.
- Walk, do not run. Use handrails and keep to the right if exiting via a stairwell.
- Do not use elevators.
- If you are comfortable doing so, assist people with disabilities to a safe location to wait for emergency responders. Note their location so you can pass that information along to safety personnel.
Once outside, move quickly away from the building and proceed to the evacuation assembly location described for your building below. If you know that someone has remained inside the building and needs assistance evacuating, notify an emergency responder or PSU safety personnel, giving their location if known.
- Attempt to keep existing groups and classrooms of students together. This assists in identifying folks that may have still been in the building.
- Keep building entrances, roadways, fire lanes, and fire hydrants clear for emergency vehicles and responders.
