EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLANS
FIRE DRILLS
The safety of those living in a residence hall must begin with a conscientious
awareness of emergency fire drill procedure and proper usage of the fire detection and alarm
devices in each hall. Protection of life and personal possessions is dependent on the responsible
actions of all persons. Abuse or tampering with fire detection or alarm devices will not be
tolerated.
During the academic year students will be informed of the emergency evacuation of
the residence halls through regularly scheduled unannounced drills. Alarm systems will be
tested periodically to ensure proper functioning. Malfunctioning of fire alarms should be
reported immediately to a member of the residence hall staff.
SEVERE WEATHER WATCH
In the event of any emergency situation caused by severe local weather conditions,
the will assume responsibility for the safety and protection of the resident students who choose
to remain in the residence halls. In the absence of the Vice President for Student Services, an
associate vice president will assume responsibility.
Just prior to and during an actual storm, the students remaining on campus will be
housed in Thompson Hall and the university Library. Students who reside in Browne and Sage
Halls will be evacuated to Thompson Hall and all others will be evacuated to the university
Library. Students who choose to remain on the campus are obligated to follow all directions
and instructions issued by the Vice President for Student Services or his designate.
