In many emergency situations, building evacuation will be necessary.
These are general evacuation procedures.
More specific information can be obtained from your Department Emergency
Coordinator or if a student your RA or AD.
Building occupants will be notified
of the evacuation by the sound of the building fire alarm, by verbal
instruction from building staff or emergency personnel, or by self-evident
hazardous conditions.
All occupants must leave the building
immediately if the fire alarm is activated, or if directed to do
so by building staff.
All occupants should exit the building through the nearest safe exit
or exit stairwell. ELEVATORS SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN AN EMERGENCY
SITUATION!!!
If the nearest exit or exit stairwell is obstructed by smoke, fire or
other hazards proceed to an alternate exit.
During stairwell evacuation, remove high heels, and hold onto the handrail.
Allow enough room for others to enter the flow of traffic in the
stairwell.
Once outdoors, all occupants should move to a safe location preferably
the evacuation assembly area.
Please ensure that proper assistance has been summoned
by calling the Vanderbilt University Police Department at 911.
Building occupants will not re-enter the building until cleared by Vanderbilt
University Police department or on site safety personnel.
