Emergency Procedures

During on-campus emergencies, all individuals should proceed as directed by an instructor, administrator, or public safety officer. No one should leave the premises without being directed to do so. All traffic lanes must be clear for emergency vehicles and traffic.

The primary and secondary routes for emergency evacuation in case of fire are posted in each location. Students and employees should become familiar with exit routes. Further details are available in the Student Handbook.

Fire/evacuation drills will be held periodically to familiarize students and employees with the fire alarm system and evacuation routes. Fire drills will be indicated by a non-interrupted blast of the fire alarm. When the fire alarm is sounded, all students, faculty, and staff must exit the building immediately by their primary means of egress. If the primary route is blocked by fire or explosion, a secondary egress route should be used. Students will be notified to return to class by college administrators or designees.
