An emergency
situation such as a hazardous materials release, major
storm, terrorism incident, etc. may require that university
personnel take shelter in their facility: |
• |
|
Identify safe areas within the facility
(preferably interior, windowless rooms) in which to take
shelter |
• |
|
Bring your emergency kit with
you into the shelter area |
• |
|
DO NOT use basement areas during a hazardous
materials release incident |
• |
|
Close exterior windows and turn off heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in the
event of hazardous materials incidents requiring sheltering
in place |
• |
|
Establish a “duty desk” for
the facility to monitor communications, handle requests
from building occupants, coordinate the distribution and
use of resources, etc. |
| |
|
|
