Things To Remember

REMEMBER

• Be sure you know how to report an emergency and who to report it to.

• Be aware of alternate exits from your floor and building.

• Be sure all evacuation routes are clear at all times.

When reporting a fire or other emergency:

• Be prepared to give the following information:

  • your name,

  • building name and room number,

  • floor of the emergency,

  • type of emergency.

• Then follow all instructions given concerning the emergency.

• Never assume someone else has turned in an alarm.

• Do not be the first one to hang up the telephone.  Let the emergency personnel hang up first. There may be other questions that need to be answered.

When the fire alarm sounds:

• Do not panic.

• Walk, don’t run.

• Use exit stairwells.

• Keep conversation to a minimum.

• Leave lights on and close doors.

  • Be alert for further instructions.

  • Do not start rumors.

  • Do not congregate near the exit stairwell doors.

If there is a fire on your floor, follow these steps:

• Don’t attempt to open any door without first testing it with the back of your hand.  If the door feels warm do not open it.  If the door feels cool, open it slightly and check for smoke.

• Leave all lights on and close all doors behind you, making sure they are not locked.

• Use the exit stairwells, not the elevators.

• If there is smoke in the area, stay low to the floor during evacuation.

If there is a fire or substantial amount of smoke in the hallway:

• Stay in the room and remain calm.

• Call 911 or the Security Desk and inform them of the situation and that you cannot safely evacuate.

• Seal the cracks around the door to keep smoke out.

• If smoke enters the room, stay close to the floor and breathe slowly.

• Remain calm and wait for help to arrive.
