Instructor Evacuation Procedures

At the beginning of the first class meeting, the instructor is to review the emergency procedures with students and indicate the intended shortest route to the evacuation site. (The evacuation route taken may depend on the type and extent of the emergency.) ELEVATORS SHOULD NOT BE USED. Identify any students who may require special assistance in an emergency and discuss evacuation individually with them to develop a plan.

Evacuation is not always the safest course of action. If an emergency occurs, please keep students in your classroom until directed to evacuate by emergency personnel unless it becomes obvious that remaining in the building jeopardizes the safety of you and your students. In the event that evacuation from the building is required, Faculty provide valuable leadership in safely and efficiently evacuating students.

If an evacuation is required:

Advise your class calmly of the need to evacuate the building. Direct them to take all of their belongings with them IF TIME PERMITS and go to the designated evacuation site (see below).
Carry a copy of the classroom roster with you.
Floor Captains and Building Marshals may be able to advise you of any known hazards effecting the use of preferred routes of exit.
Take roll once outside and provide the results to emergency personnel.
DO NOT return to the building until advised to do so by emergency personnel.
Be prepared to provide details of missing or injured students to emergency personnel.

NOTE: Building Marshals and Floor Captains from the College of Science Emergency Team can be identified by their orange vests.

If you are directed to evacuate the campus, please follow the evacuation route provided to you by

Emergency personnel and advise your students to do the same. Evacuation routes off campus are pre-designated based on where you are parked. Pre-designated routes are also posted on the “Emergency Information” section of Polycentric. Please note that routes may be adjusted depending on the emergency situation.

COLLEGE OF SCIENCE - DESIGNATED EVACUATION SITES

(fire, earthquake and all other emergency evacuations)

The Building 4 evacuation site is between the rain forest greenhouse and Building 4 on the grassy area (west side of Building 4).

The Buildings 3 & 8 evacuation site is on the grassy area in front of the Deans office and away from the Building (east side of Building)

For the new portables behind the music building the primary evacuation site is on the cement patio area in front of the music building. Evacuees will then be directed to the grassy area next to the campus center. Emergency team members will be wearing an orange vest.

After Hours - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - for Instructors

In the event of an emergency requiring evacuation during after-hours class time, the instructor is responsible for evacuating all students to the designated evacuation site. At the beginning of the first class meeting, the instructor is to review the emergency procedures with students and go over the intended shortest evacuation route to the evacuation site Note: The evacuation route taken may depend on the type and extent of the emergency. ELEVATORS SHOULD NOT BE USED. Identify any students who may require special assistance in an emergency and discuss evacuation individually with them to develop a plan. Inform all students that in an event of an emergency evacuation they should take all personal belongings with them, IF TIME PERMITS, because they may not be able to re-enter the building.

The following steps are to be taken in an emergency situation.

For a medical emergency:
If the injury requires more assistance than minor first aid, check to see if a cellular phone is available in the classroom. If there is, use it to contact university police at (909) 869-3070 or dial 911 from the nearest university telephone. (Do not dial 9-1-1 on a cellular phone. Those calls are routed to the California Highway Patrol and will delay response time.) The university has an ambulance on campus that can be dispatched by the university police.
When you or a designated caller Dial 911, stay on the line until told it is okay to disconnect, and be prepared to give the following information:

Caller’s name
The precise location of the incident.
Nature of the injury
Name of the injured party/s if known
Details of the incident
The phone number you are calling from

Fire, Earthquake and other Emergencies

Please note that evacuation is not automatic unless a fire alarm has been activated. You and your class may be safer inside the building. You may direct an evacuation if you feel it is necessary. If evacuation is required and/or directed by emergency personnel:

Evacuate to the designated evacuation site (see below for evacuation site)
DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS
Take roll to make sure you have accounted for all students. Provide details of any missing or injured students to responding emergency personnel.
Call 9-1-1 on any emergency phone. Provide police with your location, the nature of the emergency and status of your evacuation (i.e., evacuation is complete, the location of the evacuation site, etc.).
Remain at the evacuation site until emergency personnel provide you with instructions. DO NOT re-enter the building unless notified to do so by emergency personnel.
