Return to Emergency Procedures
On occasion you may, without notice, be asked to evacuate the building. The reasons for this could be fire alarms, bomb threats, natural gas leaks, etc. When you are notified to evacuate, follow these procedures:
1. Anytime an evacuation order is issued, either by alarm or verbally, YOU MUST EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!
2. Close all windows and doors and walk to the nearest exit. If the alarm stops sounding, continue evacuation and warn others who may attempt to enter the building.
3. Assist disabled persons or visitors leaving the building.
4. DO NOT USE ELEVATORS.
5. Proceed to other college buildings or stand 100 feet away from building in the designated meeting area. Keep the streets and sidewalks open for emergency personnel. Do not return to the building until directed to do so by College Safety & Security Officers. The silencing of audible sirens or horns does NOT mean it is safe to re-enter the building.
6. The Safety & Security Department does NOT set off fire alarms on a random basis. All tests are announced prior to their activation.
7. It is the policy of the Safety & Security Department to notify the St. Paul Fire Department anytime there is an evacuation situation. The fire department may issue citations to persons who do not evacuate a building during an evacuation.
