Immediately take cover under tables, desks, or other objects that give protection
in case of a secondary explosion.
After the effects of the explosion have subsided, stay calm and call the appropriate
emergency number for your campus or (911). Give your name and the location of the
explosion. Do not hang up until the dispatcher tells you to do so.
Evacuate the immediate area of the explosion by quickly walking to the nearest exit,
alerting people as you go.
Be aware of structural damage. Stay away from glass doors and windows.
Do not touch or move suspicious objects or turn light switches on or off.
Assist others, especially the injured and disabled, to evacuate the building. If you
cannot assist an injured or trapped person, let first responders know the person’s
location.
Once outside, move to a clear area at least 300 feet away or to the closest parking
lot from the affected building.
Keep the walkways clear for emergency vehicles.
Do not return to a building until told to do so.
Individuals who use wheelchairs or have mobility issues should prepare for an emergency
ahead of time by instructing coworkers or fellow students on how to assist in an emergency.
