Emergency Notification Procedures:

When you call 911 from a campus location to request emergency assistance, you will be connected to the Emergency Dispatch Center. Call from a safe location and remember to:

  • Stay calm
  • Be prepared to answer the following questions:
    • Where is the emergency located? (be specific)
    • What is the emergency? (fire, medical, hazardous materials, etc.)
    • How did it happen?
    • Who are you? (your name and contact number)
  • Gather any information that may be useful for the emergency responder. (i.e. are there any injuries involved?)
  • Do NOT hang up until instructed to do so by the dispatcher.

Evacuation Procedures:

All building occupants are required to evacuate the building when the fire alarm sounds. Immediately exit the building from your locations and move quickly to the emergency assembly locations.

Evacuating the Building:

  • Stay calm: do not rush or panic.
  • Gather personal belongings if it is safe to do so. (Reminder: take prescription medications out with you if at all possible; it may be hours before you are allowed back in the building).
  • Immediately evacuate the building using the nearest exit (or alternate exit if it is blocked).
  • Do NOT use elevators, if the building has elevators.
  • Wait for and follow directions given by emergency responders.
  • Go to the emergency assembly location.
  • Do not leave the assembly area until your status is reported to your supervisor, roll-taker, or other designee.
  • Do NOT reenter the building or work area until you have been instructed to do so by the emergency responders.

Your Emergency Responsibilities

  • Stay at your desk
    • In the event of a minor disturbance (medical emergency, power outage, etc.) there is no need to leave your work area or building
  • Shelter in place
    • There are a few occasions or events that would cause personnel to shelter in place during an emergency. For example, the release of a hazardous chemical may require students, staff, and faculty to remain in place and take measures to protect themselves. All personnel should know the proper precautions and measures to take in such an event.
    • If you must 'Shelter in Place' Go inside. Close and lock all doors and windows. Shut off any heating or cooling systems and close fireplace dampers. Gather people and pets in your shelter room and seal windows, doors, and vents. You can refer to UAF on Alert (https://uafalert.alaska.edu/) for further instructions and an “all clear” order.
  • Evacuate
    • If the evacuation/fire alarm goes off, you are required by law to leave the building. Please grab your personal belongings, if it is safe to do so, and go to the emergency assembly area.
 

Accountability Procedures After Evacuation:

In the event of a fire emergency signaled by the building alarm system, all occupants will promptly exit the building by the nearest exit. Once clear of the building, all occupants will go to the designated emergency assembly location and immediately report to the roll-taker, supervisor, floor manager, or other designee. Roll-takers or the identified designees are responsible for accounting for each employee assigned to that designated emergency assembly location and will conduct a headcount. Every building occupant is responsible for reporting to the designated roll-taker or designee so an accurate head count can be made. The roll-taker or designee will report accountability to the on-scene incident commander and/or the UAF incident management team at the Emergency Operations Center.

Critical Operation Found in Building

There are no critical operations in ASF Richardson Hwy Main for which an employee is required to remain in the building during an emergency.

Building Alarm Information:

All buildings are equipped with an alarm system to alert occupants of the detection of fire and/or smoke. There are also unique alarm systems in some buildings that will alert employees and occupants of a hazardous situation.

 

III. Emergency Preparedness

Training:

Training is an integral part of safety awareness. All employees and students should be trained on the Emergency Action Plan (EAP). Each occupant should become familiar with the EAP, know evacuation routes and assembly areas, and attend training(s) given by the building coordinator. As a supplement to the training, information is posted in the buildings to ensure all occupants and guests can safely exit during an emergency.

Drills:

Drills: Each building and department should designate a method to practice evacuation procedures to ensure that all building occupants are accounted for in case of an emergency. This should include rehearsing evacuation methods for both inside and outside emergency assembly locations.
