Evacuation Procedures

Familiarize yourself with your surroundings.
Know the locations of all exits from your area or building in case fire or debris should block one.
Know the location of fire alarm pull stations.
Know the location of fire extinguishers.
Building evacuations will occur whenever a fire alarm sounds and/or upon notification by a public safety officer.
When the building fire alarm is activated during an emergency, leave by the nearest safe, marked exit, and alert others to do the same.
Whenever possible, assist those with disabilities in exiting the building.
Do not use the elevators in case of fire.
Once outside, proceed to a clear area at least 200 yards away from the affected building. Keep streets, fire lanes, hydrant areas and walkways clear for emergency vehicles and personnel.
Do not return to an evacuated building unless directed to do so by a public safety officer, a police officer or the Fire Department.
