EXPLOSION

Call 911

In the event of an explosion on campus, take the following actions:

1. Immediately take cover under tables, desks, or under objects which will give protection against falling glass and debris.

2. After the initial effects of the explosion have subsided, call 911.  Give your name, tell them if there is a fire, and describe the location and nature of the emergency.

3. Activate the building fire alarm.

4. Evacuate the building by the nearest exit.  If disabled individuals cannot safely evacuate the building, assist to the nearest stairwell away from damaged area.  Alert emergency personnel of their location

5. DO NOT USE ELEVATORS.

6. Once outside, go to the designated rally point.  If this location is unavailable, move to a safe area that is at least 500 feet away from the affected building.  Keep driveways and sidewalks clear for emergency vehicles and personnel.

7. Classroom leaders insure that students evacuate the building and should ask students to sign in at the rally point to ensure everyone is evacuated.

8. DO NOT RETURN TO AN EVACUATED BUILDING unless authorized by the University Heights Fire Department or Campus Safety Services.
