SUBJECT: Mellon Institute and CIC Building Evacuation Drills 10/17
In an effort to practice Fire Safety awareness and preparedness, and to comply with Fire Code, Environmental Health and Safety will be conducting fire evacuation drills at the following locations on Tuesday, 10/17:
· Robert Mehrabian Collaborative Innovation Center (CIC) beginning at 7:00AM
· Mellon Institute at 8:00AM
During these drills, you will hear a siren/horn and/or test announcement.
We ask for your full cooperation during these tests. We recognize these drills may interrupt your schedule, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
The expected duration of the drill will be 30 minutes.
Please adhere to the following directions when the alarm sounds:
- Follow the directions of your designated building and floor marshals (if applicable) and proceed to the nearest exit.
- Office coordinators or floor marshals should notify the nearest emergency official when everyone is accounted for, or if anyone is missing.
- If your office coordinator or floor marshal is not on site or if you do not have one, please contact your facility coordinator, or notify Environmental Health and Safety for assistance.
- Remain with your group until attendance is taken and you are excused by an office coordinator, floor marshal or other emergency team official, or you hear an announcement from the public address system.
- Please do not enter your vehicles or leave campus until the exercise is over.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have questions regarding proper procedures for your area, contact your office coordinator or floor marshal.
