In the event of an evacuation, building occupants should take the following actions:

If necessary or if directed to do so by a designated emergency official, activate the building alarm and call 911.

• Leave the building immediately when signaled by fire alarm, instructions from emergency personnel, or CENS alerts.
• Do not use elevators. Use stairwells – stay to the right and use handrails.
• Stay calm and exit the building quickly and proceed in an orderly manner to the designated emergency assembly point. Do not leave the area.
• Do not take any noncritical items while evacuating.
• Do not re-enter an evacuated building until instructed to do so by an official or selected monitor.
• If possible, assist individual with disabilities.
• If unable to directly assist a person with disabilities, ask the individual to wait at the nearest exit for assistance from official emergency personnel.
• If you are trapped in a room, place a wet cloth around and under the door to prevent smoke/other hazards from entering.
