-
If you observe a
suspicious package, do not handle it. If you receive a suspicious package,
gently place it in a stationary location near where you first picked it up
and secure the location. Do not open drawers or cabinets or turn lights on
or off. IMPORTANT NOTE
TO ALL STAFF WITH TWO-WAY RADIOS AND BASE STATIONS: Immediately turn off
your radio and base station. Do not transmit under any circumstances as
this may activate the bomb.
- Notify Campus
Safety by dialing campus extension 3229. Designated personnel familiar with
the area will conduct a basic search of the area.
- Immediately
activate the building alarm and evacuate all persons in the area. When the
alarm sounds, walk quickly to the nearest marked exit and alert others to do
the same.
- Assist physically
challenged persons in exiting the building. Remember that elevators are
reserved for disabled persons use during emergencies. Do not use elevators
in case of fire. Stay calm, do not panic.
- Once outside,
proceed to a safe area at least 500 feet away from any structure and remain
there until an “all clear” signal is given. It is important to keep the
streets, fire lanes, hydrants and walkways clear for emergency vehicles and
first responder personnel.
- Do not return to an
evacuated building until it has been established safe by a College official.
