Campus Update: Emergency drill next week

April 13, 2023

? Campus-wide drill next week

Next Thursday, April 20, ÖйúÌå²ÊÍø will conduct an emergency drill. To prepare, familiarize yourself with these three key emergency actions:

• Evacuate: Exit the building using designated routes. Don't rush or crowd, and don't use elevators.
• Shelter in place: Proceed to the designated shelter for your building. If a shelter is not indicated, move to an interior room or hall on the lowest floor. Get under a sturdy piece of furniture and stay away from windows.
• Lockdown: Lock your door and stay inside. Close all windows and blinds.

Sign up for Augie Alerts to receive important notifications and instructions for real and practice emergency scenarios.
