Emergency drills to be conducted Sept. 27
MSUM will be conducting emergency evacuation drills in all campus buildings, except residence halls, on Tuesday, Sept. 27from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Please take this opportunity to review the emergency plans posted throughout all buildings.
Some things to remember when you hear the building evacuation alarm:
1. Do not use elevators. Those with mobility impairments should wait in the building’s designated safe area of rescue until the alarm stops and occupants are given the all clear to enter.
2. If practical, take your jacket, purse, and keys with you.
3. Close door and windows when you exit.
4. Stop, look and listen. Evacuation alarms are used to notify building occupants during other kinds of emergencies besides fires.
5. Remember to use alternative evacuation routes besides main entrances. This will relieve congestion in stairwells and hallways.
If anyone needs assistance in determining safe areas of rescue, evacuation routes or have any questions, please feel free to contact Public Safety, Sgt. Mitch Osland, 218-477-4276 mitch.osland@mnstate.edu
