This handbook is intended to help staff, faculty and students respond to emergency situations which may occur on the Biola campus. Such emergencies can occur at any time and without warning, but their effects can be minimized if proper emergency procedures are established and followed. Biola University is committed to the safety and security of all members of the campus community. In times of emergency, the University will provide appropriate campus-wide response to assure life safety and minimize losses.
Emergency preparedness is also an individual responsibility.
This handbook will serve as a quick reference for efficient action during emergencies, and should be kept in an easily-accessible location at all times. All staff, faculty and students should take the time now to read and become familiar with the contents of this guide before an emergency occurs. Do not hang up until you are sure no further information is required, unless there is an immediate threat to your safety. After notifying emergency personnel, notify building staff. Watch for the arrival of emergency personnel and assist in directing them to the appropriate location.
