Emergency Evacuation


In the event that a building must be evacuated for the protection and safety of members of the community, students and employees are asked to move quickly from the premises to a location specified by Public Safety.  No one will be permitted to return to his or her office/classroom until Public Safety feels confident the emergency is resolved.

Evacuation of a building does not mean employees are permitted to leave work for the remainder of the day or that class is canceled.  If it appears the evacuation will be for an extended period of time, the Facilities Coordinator will inform the faculty of other available classroom space and the Director of Human Resources or his/her designee will coordinate administrative personnel to a temporary office location.  If the situation takes place in a classroom building during evening hours, the Public Safety staff will work with the faculty to find suitable locations for classes.

If a residence hall needs to be evacuated for any period of time, The Office of the Dean of Student Services will make decisions about re-locating students.

If a situation arises that calls for evacuation of all buildings, College personnel and students should report to the lacrosse/field hockey field.
