 Life Saving Actions

• Immediately leave the building - Do not worry about personal possessions
• Cover your nose and mouth
• Feel a door with the back of your hand for heat before opening it
• Do not use the elevator
• Pull the fire alarm (if available)
• Go a minimum of 300 feet from the facility or where directed by campus personnel
• Follow the instructions provided by campus personnel
• Do not reenter the facility until directed to - even if the alarm is silenced

Special considerations

• If mobility impaired, then go to an area of refuge
• If trapped on an upper floor, put something in the window to attract attention and attempt to seal the bottom of the doors
• If trapped under debris, refrain from yelling or moving unless you are sure someone can hear you
