When an emergency affects your University building, the action you take will either be to Evacuate, Seek Shelter, or Run-Hide-Fight.

Evacuation: Using the nearest safe exit, leave the building. Use enclosed stairwells, not elevators or open stairs (e.g., those commonly found in building lobbies). Encourage others to evacuate as you leave, but don’t delay your own evacuation. If an individual asks you to help them evacuate, please do so if you feel comfortable; otherwise report their exact location to first responders.

  • Those who exit from the front door will assemble directly across W Baltimore

Patient Evacuation: Patients undergoing routine dental procedures are expected to exit the building when the fire alarm is activated. If interruption of patient treatment could potentially compromise a patient’s health or seriously compromise the expected results of treatment, the treating doctor or supervising faculty member may decide to protect the patient in place, along with any necessary treatment personnel. The medical procedure can continue to be performed if there is no imminent danger. The intent of this evacuation procedure is to apply to patients undergoing surgical procedures, under sedation, or are being treated for a medical emergency. The ultimate evacuate/protect in place decision will be made by the individual responsible for the patient. The Emergency Warden must be notified when patients will be protected in place, so that they can record this information on the Emergency Warden report. If in imminent danger, call 911. Ask others to help you exit the building.
