Shelter-in-Place

An emergency situation such as a hazardous materials release outside of building, major storm, terrorism incident, etc. may require students and employees to take shelter in their facility:

• Identify safe areas within the facility (preferably interior, windowless rooms) in which to take shelter when the threat is occurring outside of the building and the safest place is inside of the building. Ideally this occurs well before the need, i.e. do this today.
• In the event of hazardous materials incidents requiring sheltering in place, close exterior windows and turn off heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
• Account for students and staff. Call the department of Publc Safety to report your location and the persons who are present.
