Building Evacuation Procedures

The following building evacuation procedures when an alarm is sounded or campus officials give an evacuation order.

Be aware of all the marked exits from your building and refer to the emergency evacuation procedures posted near the entrance/exits and elevators.

The evacuation alarm is a loud horn, and is the only audible alarm system used on this campus. Every alarm should be treated as an emergency.

To activate the building alarm system, break or remove the protective cover on one of the red fire alarm boxes located in the hallway, and pull the handle.

When the building evacuation alarm is sounded or when you are ordered to leave, take your belongings and walk quickly to the nearest marked exit and calmly ask others to do the same.

Assist the disabled with exiting the building and remember that elevators are reserved for their use. If elevators are not operating, assist the disabled to the nearest stairway and use the emergency sled. If the disable person is in a wheelchair and the elevator is not available, an able-bodied person should stay with the wheelchair user in the platform area of the stairwell while a second person notifies emergency personnel of the exact location of the wheelchair user.

Resident Assistants and/or campus officials will assist in evacuation of all building occupants.

Outside, proceed to a clear area that is at least 150 feet away from the affected building.Keep walkways clear for emergency personnel and vehicles.

Proceed to your building’s evacuee staging area so that officials can verify all occupants are safe. Click Here for the Evacuation Maps

Do not return to a building until Campus Public Safety tell you to do so even if the alarm has ceased

Closing of Campus: Lock-down Procedures

A Lockdown (Shelter in Place) or Closing of Campus is declared when, in the opinion of the Campus Public Safety Department, a situation exists that threatens the safety of students and staff and requires that they remain in their classrooms.

2. These individuals will call those who report directly to them, and in turn, they will call their department heads and other key personnel to relay appropriate information.

3. Facility Services and Campus Public Safety personnel will post barricades/signs at entrances to campus to prevent unauthorized access to campus.

4. All campus roads, with the exception of an emergency access route, will be used for campus egress.

5. The campus community will then be notified of the campus closure.

6. The campus Public Information Officer will prepare a statement to be given to the campus community.

7. Teams will be assigned for classroom notifications and building closures.

8. After all parking lots are emptied and all buildings have been cleared and secured (with the exception of authorized personnel), the campus will be declared closed.

Staff’s Responsibilities

Disaster Declaration

Incident Command Activation/Notification Procedures

Staff/Faculty Recall

Declaration of an Emergency on Campus:

An emergency should be declared if the following criteria are met:

 Significantly disrupts normal operations

 Requires the mobilization of resources

 Has the potential for growth

Who Can Declare an Emergency on Campus?

Any member of the President’s Cabinet, Campus Public Safety Director or Campus Public Safety Officer on duty can declare an emergency and activate the EOP.

Once an Emergency on Campus is Declared Establish Command

In the event that an emergency takes place the following steps should take place:

 EOC Director Identified

 Emergency Communications/Notifications o Internal o External

 Respond to and resolve the incident using Emergency Response Objectives and Strategies.

EOC Director Identified

Vice President of Business & Finance, Campus Public Safety Director or Campus Public Safety Officer

Emergency Communications/Notifications

The type of event will determine which steps you take first. During a medical emergency time is of the essence and emergency services need to be contacted immediately as time allows the EOC Director can make internal notifications. Other events would require the internal notifications to be made first then the external notifications. It is the responsibility of the EOC Director to make that determination.

Notifications (Internal Communication and Recall Procedures)

At times it may be essential that all staff, faculty, students and visitors on campus be aware that there is an emergency situation, what that emergency is, who the commander is and what is expected of them.

Internal notifications will be done with the use of all available sources, e-mail, phones, text messages, cell phones, media outlets or in some cases runners. It is essential that all staff on campus are aware that there is an emergency situation, what that emergency is, who the commander is and what is expected of them.

Under the direction of the Logistics Section Chief, university directors, supervisors, managers, chairs and deans or designees will recall staff as necessary to meet the needs of the disaster event.

 Recall will occur through the use of each department’s recall procedure.

 Staff will be required to wear a Vanguard University identification badge to enter the campus.

 Staff will report to his/her pre-assigned location, their work location or the Staffing Pool. Location of the staffing poll will be determined by the Logistics Sections Chief.

 Staff currently on duty may be required to extend his/her duty hours as directed by EOC Director or the Planning Section Chief.

 In the event that landlines and cell phones interfere with recall, Vanguard University staff will listen to local radio and local television for recall instructions.

 Internal Notifications—to include but not limited to:

o Staff/Faculty (on-duty and off-duty)

o Students Resident and Non-Resident

o Board Members o Students Families

o Required Essential Vendors

The university will be informed at the direction of the EOC Director that Vanguard University is in an emergency situation and:

 What the threat is

 Who the EOC Director is

 How to contact Incident Command

Notifications and the recalling of staff to fill the roles of the ICS can take time, it is vital that those duties be assigned to someone other than the EOC Director immediately. This task can be assigned to EOC Support Staff. Once the Command Staff is up and running these duties will be assigned to the Logistics Section.

10. After the seizure, the person should be placed on his/her left side. Keep in mind there is a small risk of post-seizure vomiting, before the person is fully alert. Therefore, the person’s head should be turned so that any vomit will drain out of the mouth without being inhaled. Stay with the person until she recovers (5 to 20 minutes).

Flood Procedures:

Winter rains can cause high winds, flooding and uprooted trees on campus.

1. In the event of severe flooding, the Campus Public Safety and Facility Services Offices should be notified. Give specific location and effects of flooding.

4. Close all windows and doors upon leaving any area.

5. Instructors should keep their class rosters with them during the warning.

6. Everyone should assist those around them in doing the right thing.

7. Anyone in a mobile building needs to move to permanent structures.

8. Keep windows closed.

Pandemic, Emergency and Natural Disaster Preparation

Natural disasters, disease outbreaks, and emergencies can have widespread and even long-lasting impacts on supplies, services, public health, and health care systems in addition to university operations. We want our Vanguard community to prepare for the possibility of these concerning and tumultuous events. 

The CDC recommend that individuals start preparing for these possibilities ASAP instead of waiting for an emergency to happen to prepare. See the information below for some recommended steps to help prepare yourself:

Take Action

PERSONAL NEEDS: Gather food, water, & medical supplies to last at least 72 hours. This includes medical supplies such as nebulizers, thermometers, blood glucose monitors, and contacts/contact solutions.

PRESCRIPTIONS: Prepare an emergency supply of both over the counter and prescription medications and assure that you have proper storage for these products.

PRACTICAL SKILLS: Keep up to date on proper hand-washing technique and non-pharmaceutical interventions in case of respiratory illness and learn life-saving skills to use to help others during an emergency.

POWER SOURCES: Prepare for power outages by assuring that you have options for charging devices, back-up, and emergency lighting available at all times.

PAPERWORK: Collect and protect important documents and medical records such as driver’s license, medical insurance card, passport, and/or a list of medications and emergency contacts.

Create Community

CARE FOR EACH OTHER: Take care of yourself and each other. This can include staying up to date on vaccinations to protect those that cannot protect themselves and learning life-saving skills such as CPR, Narcan administration, and the Heimlich maneuver.

GET INVOLVED: Take actions to help improve everyone’s health and resilience including watching out for friends and neighbors and consider volunteering with emergency organizations or blood banks.

LEAD BY EXAMPLE: Inspire others to prepare their health by modeling good preventative actions such as staying home when ill and obtaining vaccinations when recommended.

IMPROVE ACCESS: Support the needs of the whole community. Be aware of those around you that may be more vulnerable during an emergency and encourage them to ask questions and prepare.

Plan Ahead

STAY HEALTHY: Know how to maintain and protect your health and wellness by making sure that you know the local healthcare facilities and assuring that you have transportation to these facilities. It is also important for pet owners to have contingency plans for their pet’s healthcare and housing in case of an emergency.

STAY CONNECTED: Discuss and plan for multiple ways to communicate with family, friends, and caregivers.

STAY CALM: Practice ways to stay calm, cool, and collected in an emergency and know when to seek help. Take care of yourself daily and identify your support system in preparation for an emergency. During an emergency, find trusted sources of factual information to keep you informed.

STAY INFORMED: Keep up to date on your medical history, your vaccination status, travel advisories, local weather, local air quality, and emergency alerts and notifications.
