Explosion, Aircraft Crash, or Similar Accident
In the event a violent accident, such as an explosion or
aircraft crash, occurs on campus that could render a building
or area unsafe, take the following action:
- Immediately take cover under tables, desks, and other
such objects, which will give protection against glass or
debris.
- After effects of the explosion have subsided, notify
University Police. Give your name; describe the location
and nature of the emergency.
- If necessary or directed to do so by University Police,
activate the building alarm system.
- Notify your supervisor, and then evacuate the immediate
area of explosion.
- Be aware of structural damage.
- Stay away from glass doors and windows.
- Do not touch or move any suspicious object.
- Assist others, especially the injured and disabled in
evacuating the building. Do not move the seriously injured
unless conditions so dictate.
- Building marshals will assist in evacuation of all building
occupants.
- Once outside move to a clear area at least 150 feet away
from the affected area. Keep walkways clear for emergency
vehicles.
- To the best of your ability, and without reentering the
building, assist University Police in their attempt to determine
that everyone has evacuated safely.
- A University Police Emergency
Command Post will be set up near the emergency site. Keep
clear of the command post unless you have important information
to report.
- Do not return to a building until University Police tell
you to do so even if the alarm has ceased.
