

Inform class of meeting location in the event
of an alarm
Consider a class roster for check-in
Refer any student/visitor who feels they may
need additional assistance to the Office for
Students with Disabilities
Think about what you are prepared and
capable to do. Seek input from your chair or
EHS.

OSD is a resource for students

HR is helpful for faculty/staff


EHS serves as a campus resource for both
faculty/staff/students and the campus at
large.
EHS is available to review evacuation
procedures specific to class locations

Why Faculty? Why not UP or EHS?
◦ In emergencies requiring evacuation,
faculty are the employees on scene. UP and
EHS are generally assisting emergency responders.

What if I have a large class? Do you expect me to
track everyone down?
◦ For large classes, do your best. You do not have to track everyone
down, but in the event of a large scale emergency, we could use
whatever roster information to determine individuals to be account
for.

How do I help evacuate a student/visitor in a wheel
chair?
◦ Talk to the student/visitor first. They often have a plan.
◦ Know multiple accessible exits.
◦ Elevators should not be used when the fire alarm goes off.
Many do not operate when the alarm is activated.
◦ The safest place in buildings is in enclosed stairwells. They
are more fire protective and are the locations where
responders check first. You are not required to stay with
the student, but you may choose to.
◦ Call University Police with the location- be as specific as
possible. Hartwell and Drake have signs in the stairwells.
In the event of a drill, UP will confirm that it is a drill.


What about other physical disabilities?
◦ It depends on their disability- Talk to them.
◦ Contact OSD and EHS for assistance with a plan.

It’s a nice day so it must be a drill, do I really have
to leave?
◦ YES. Drills only happen once a semester, and you just never
know. Drills are important practice for a real emergency
and are required by law. Most alarms are NOT drills, but a
device activation.
