Evacuation Procedures
A person may be required to evacuate a building during a gas leak, fire, or chemical spill. In some cases, they may need to evacuate after an incident that causes their building to be unsafe such as after an earthquake or tornado.
GET OUT!
Evacuations are mandatory for fire alarms and when directed by authorities. NO EXCEPTIONS!
A building evacuation will be signaled by the building fire alarm, including strobe lights, audible alerts, and/or other means of emergency notification (SIUE e-Lert) or other notifications by emergency personnel.
Individuals evacuating a facility should move 500 feet away from the building. Unless emergency personnel provide alternate direction, evacuees should report to the following facilities to await instructions:
Edwardsville Campus
- Morris University Center
- Lovejoy Library (if Morris University Center is included in the threat)
Alton School of Dental Medicine
- Building 273, Administration
- Building 279-lower level, Science Building (if Building 273 is included in the threat)
Wyvetter H. Young Higher Education Campus
- Building D
- Building B (if Building D is included in the threat)
