Emergency Procedures

Emergencies are unexpected, unpredictable, and take many forms. No one can be fully prepared for everything that may happen, but some simple measures are helpful in any emergency.

• Think of everyone's safety first
• Use common sense and training
• Act quickly and calmly
• Be factual and unemotional with students and the community

For more major kinds of emergencies, some preparations can be made. Knowing who to call can save time, property and lives. This booklet is intended as a practical outline of what to do in a variety of emergencies. The Dean of Administrative Services can provide further information on emergency and crisis prevention, management and resolution.

• Read all emergency procedures
• Develop plans and train staff
• Rehearse emergency procedures
• Always practice prevention

In All Emergencies, Follow The Security Officer's Instructions.
