In the event of a campus evacuation, Maroon Alert would provide instructions and other available information. To exit campus quickly and safely, consider the following:
Plan for an evacuation before an emergency occurs. You should avoid:
Congested areas and intersections
Construction zones
Emergency or dangerous areas
Remain calm as you evacuate and encourage others to do the same.
Use caution when walking & driving. Increased pedestrian traffic should be expected.
Depending on the emergency, Contra-flow of traffic may be used. Emergency responders may be entering campus.
Do not walk through campus to get to your car or room. Your goal should be to get out of harm's way.
Consider walking instead of driving. This helps reduce traffic on the road and may be a faster way off campus.
The SMART shuttles may be used to aid in an evacuation, depending on the emergency. However, do not attempt to stop a moving bus or board a bus that is full.
Use caution at intersections. Law enforcement may be involved in emergency response and may not be available to direct traffic.
Discuss an off-campus reunification location with family & friends.
Be patient. You should expect delays during an emergency evacuation.
