Follow safety lights out of the building. If you are in a totally dark area, stay put, and a building coordinator will see that you are escorted out. If the region is experiencing a Stage 3 power alert, do not use elevators, unless necessary, as elevators may not work during a power outage. If you are in an elevator that stops, use the emergency telephone to notify authorities of your location. Then wait calmly.
All elevators have emergency lighting.
Depending on the duration and extent of the blackout, it may take some time for personnel to reach you. An Office of Evening Emergency Services is being established to carry out the coordination necessary for handling evening situations, including blackouts. It will be housed in Public Safety 278-6851. Additional evening administrative support is also being developed. Please do your part by turning out all lights, computers, copiers, coffeepots and other electrical appliances when not in use.
