Emergency Procedures by Building - Grizzly House
Fire Procedures
In the event of a fire or similar emergency, all occupants of the Grizzly House should:
- Evacuate immediately using marked exits; last persons out close all doors;
- Assemble on the basketball court to account for all personnel and
- Await further instructions from building supervisors and/or emergency management personnel.
Tornado Procedures
In the event tornado sirens are sounded or communication from the police is relayed
to the campus, all occupants of the Residence Hall should take shelter in the following
designated locations:
- Meeting Room 107 on lower level
- First floor hallway (close doors at both ends of the hallway)
Earthquake Procedures
Drop, cover and hold on! Move only a few steps to a nearby safe place (e.g., under
a sturdy table or desk). Most injured persons in earthquakes move more than five feet
during the shaking. It is very dangerous to try to leave a building during an earthquake
because objects can fall on you. Many fatalities occur when people run outside of
buildings, only to be injured by falling debris from collapsing walls. In U.S. buildings,
you are safer to stay where you are. After the shaking has stopped, if you go outside,
move quickly away from the building to prevent injury from falling debris.
