To reduce the risk of spreading the infection, it is highly recommended that the student make arrangements to go home for the duration of the infectious state. All individuals in the building must follow the directions of the Residence Hall Coordinator and other emergency personnel and may not re-enter the hall until the housing staff indicate it is safe to do so. Staff may enter rooms to verify evacuation of residents. Call 911 and immediately notify your Residence Hall Coordinator and other residents of the building or floor of the location of the fire. When the alarm is sounded, all residents, except those with specific assignments, must leave the building immediately.
Students are to evacuate using the stairwells closest to their rooms.
If the door is hot, return to your room and close the door. Wait by the nearest window for rescue from the fire department. Persons leaving the building for evacuation purposes should take an ID, jacket and shoes with them. They should not try to take any other personal items. When fire and police officials arrive on the scene, they are automatically in charge of the situation.
