Emergency Procedures
Faculty are responsible for the following actions in case an emergency occurs during the class they are teaching.
- In case of fire, the fire alarm will sound. Lead your students out the nearest exit and away from the building. Do not use elevators.
- In case of tornado, you will be notified by the local tornado siren and (if in Ballantine) by a Ballantine Hall floor monitor. Lead your students into an enclosed area, away from windows and doors. Again, do not use elevators.
All faculty should, of course, follow the same procedure themselves when not in class. In Ballantine, floor monitors can lend assistance in case of emergency. They are identified by wearing neon green vests..
In case an instructor has a disabled student in his/her class, the professor is to assist that student as best he/she can, or ask a reliable fellow student to assist him/her. In case of fire on a floor without an exit, a physically disabled student may be left in a stairwell or hallway only if helping the person all the way outside is impossible. Then emergency personnel should be informed of the person's location as soon as possible in order to fully evacuate him/her.
