Emergency Procedures

• If possible, proceed to a ground level or underground level of the building.
• Do not use elevators.
• Stay in a “safe shelter location” like a central hallway, stay away from windows, mirrors, glass and unsecured objects such as filing cabinets or book cases.
• Remain alert for falling objects.
• Carry your cell phone and class roster with you.
• Remain in the safe shelter location until the tornado/severe thunderstorm warning has expired.
• Report injuries to Public Safety at 443.840.1111 or call 911.

• Activate the fire alarm system and evacuate the building immediately.

• Carry your cell phone and class roster with you.
• Notify authorities if anyone from your class or office area is missing.
• Do not re-enter the building until told to do so by on site authorities, or until you hear the alert tone and "All Clear" signal from the alert system.

• Call Public Safety at 443.840.1111 or 911 as soon as you can.
• Make a plan to run, hide or fight.
• If Public Safety sends an alert, take it seriously and act quickly.

• Do exactly as you are told. Do not resist!
• If you have to move or reach, tell the robber what you are going to do and why.
• Try to get a good look at the robber (and their vehicle, if possible) so you can describe them later.
