EMERGENCY EVACUATION OF BUILDINGS: In the event of an emergency, ALL PERSONS ARE REQUIRED TO EVACUATE BUILDINGS at the sound of a fire alarm. In some instances, an announcement may be made over an intercom system or in person by campus police or supervisors. This requirement pertains to fire; bomb threats to the buildings, or an emergency considered threatening to the physical well being of residents. Supervisors shall direct evacuees to a location that is the farthest point away from the building (at least 250 feet away).
SEVERE WEATHER: In case of a warning of a violent storm and/or possible tornado, students, faculty and staff should follow instructions given by supervisors, directors and dorm managers.
LOCK DOWNS: Lock-downs will be used when it has been determined that it may be more dangerous to evacuate the building than to stay in the assigned rooms. (i.e. persons threatening with a gun or other deadly weapons, robbery in progress, etc.) This is a procedure, which allows the College to continue with the normal school day, but reduce outside activity, and allows no unauthorized personnel into the building or campus. Lockouts are used when the incident is occurring off campus.
LOCKOUTS: This is a procedure, which allows the College to continue with the normal school day, but reduce outside activity, and allows no unauthorized personnel into the building or campus. Lockouts are used when the incident is occurring off campus, but near school property.
