Building Evacuation
Your Safety Matters
- Building evacuation will occur upon notification by McNeese Police or other authority
- In the event of a bomb threat, all evacuation orders and instructions will be given via word of mouth to avert possible accidental detonation through the use of electronic devices
- Be aware of all marked exits in your area of the building
- Leave by the nearest exit and alert others to do the same
- Take all personal belongings with you (This will assist with the ensuing search of the building.)
- Do not change the light switch settings (If the light is on, leave it on. If it is off, leave it off.)
- Leave all doors open
- Do not use elevators as they may not be operational
- Refrain from using any electronic devices such as cell phones until told it is safe to do so
- Assist the disabled in exiting the building, if requested. Encourage others to do the same
- Faculty members and/or Student Services personnel will be located outside the building exits to direct you to a safe assembly point where officials will obtain an accurate head count and provide you with further information
- No one will be allowed reentry into the affected building for any reason until an “all clear” is given by authorities
- An emergency command post may be set up near the site. Keep clear of this area unless you have important information to report
