These are the standard evacuation procedures to be followed in all fire related emergencies.

Radio channel 9 for Emergency

  1. Pull the fire alarm, call 911 and notify a member of Library Administration (Dean, Associate Dean or designee).
  2. Evacuate patrons through the emergency exits on the ground floor (parking lot level) and through the 4th floor front entrance/exit doors to a distance of at least 100 feet away.
  3. Escort mobility restricted patrons (on floors other than 3 or 4) to one of the enclosed stairwells behind the fire rated doors. Call 911 to report their exact location (e.g. 3rd floor north west staircase) to the dispatcher who will relay it to CUFD.

  5. A member of Admin will patrol the front doors to keep patrons out.
