During an earthquake remain calm and quickly follow the steps outlined below.
- If indoors, seek refuge in a doorway or under a desk or table. Stay away from glass windows, shelves, and heavy equipment.
- If outdoors, quickly move away from buildings, utility poles and other structures. CAUTION: Avoid power or utility lines as they may be energized.
- If in an automobile, stop in the safest place available, preferably away from power lines and trees. Stop as quickly as safety permits, but stay in the vehicle for the shelter it offers.
- After the initial shock, evaluate the situation and call Campus Safety if emergency help is required.
- Protect yourself at all times and be prepared for aftershocks.
- Damaged facilities should be reported to the Campus Safety Department.
- If a building emergency exists (i.e., fire, building collapse, etc.), activate the building alarm. If the alarm fails to go off in the building, report the emergency by telephone to Campus Safety.
- Assist the disabled in exiting the building.
- Do not use elevators.
- Once outside, move away from any building as rapidly as possible. Keep streets, fire lanes, hydrants and walkways clear for emergency vehicles and crews.
- Emergency personnel will likely coordinate their efforts from a central post near the emergency. Keep clear of this area unless you have relevant information to the situation (i.e., person trapped in the building, gas leak, etc.).
- DO NOT RETURN TO AN EVACUATED BUILDING unless told to do so by a Campus Safety Officer.
- After any evacuation, all individuals shall report to the designated building assembly point. All individuals will then be directed to the designated campus assembly point. Stay at the building assembly point until directed to do otherwise.
