Emergency planning isn’t just a good idea for the workplace; it’s equally important to prepared at home too. Here are some simple things you can do now:
- Periodically review the emergency procedures included in the front of the Campus Phone book. The Campus Phone book is a Grab-and-Go resource: keep a copy in your office, car and home.
- Make sure you understand the methods the campus will use to communicate emergency information to you. The campus will use multiple means to contact people – pay special attention to "everyone" emails, voice mail messages and announcements in corridors.
- Be aware of your surroundings at all times.
-
- Call 911 immediately if any situation feels or appears "threatening".
- Report suspicious conditions, objects, individuals to Campus Safety, ext. 8114.
- Know how to safely evacuate the building you are in. Always know two exits routes from the space you are in and the location of the Assembly Point for your building.
- Know how to shelter-in-place both at home and at work.
- Know the location of the nearest fire extinguisher, pull stations, first aid kits, and Safe Zones.
- Prepare an emergency kit to keep in your office, car and home. Your emergency kit should include medication, flashlight, comfortable shoes, bottled water, food, batteries, portable radio, small amount of cash, a list of emergency contacts for work and family.
- Prepare a plan for yourself and your family specifying what to do, where to go, and how to cope until you are all able to get home. Designate an out-of-state relative or friend to act as a contact for separated family members.
