Emergency Procedures MEDICAL EMERGENCY
EMERGENCY ACTION
1. Call 911 and report incident. 2. Do not move the patient unless safety dictates. 3. Have someone direct emergency personnel to patient. 4. If trained: Use pressure to stop bleeding. 5. Provide basic life support as needed.
8
FIRE EMERGENCY ACTION
1. Pull alarm (located by EXIT doors). 2. Leave the building. 3. Call 911 from a safe distance, and give the following information: • Location of the fire within the building. • A description of the fire and how it started (if known)
BUILDING EVACUATION 1. All building evacuations will occur when an alarm sounds and/or upon notification by
security/safety personnel. DO NOT ACTIVATE ALARM IN THE EVENT OF A BOMB THREAT.
2. If necessary or if directed to do so by a designated emergency official, activate the building alarm. 3. When the building evacuation alarm is activated during an emergency, leave by the nearest
marked exit and alert others to do the same. 4. Assist the disabled in exiting the building! Remember that the elevators are reserved for persons
who are disabled. DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS IN CASE OF FIRE. DO NOT PANIC. 5. Once outside, proceed to a clear area that is at least 500 feet away from the building. Keep
streets, fire lanes, hydrant areas and walkways clear for emergency vehicles and personnel. The assembly point is the sidewalk in front of the college on New York Avenue.
6. DO NOT RETURN to the evacuated building unless told to do so by College official or emergency responders.
IFYOUHAVEADISABILITYANDAREUNABLETOEVACUATE: Stay calm, and take steps to protect yourself. If there is a working telephone, call 911 and tell the emergency dispatcher where you are or where you will be moving. If you must move,
1. Move to an exterior enclosed stairwell. 2. Request persons exiting by way of the stairway to notify the Fire Department of your location. 3. As soon as practical, move onto the stairway and await emergency personnel. 4. Prepare for emergencies by learning the locations of exit corridors and enclosed stairwells.
Inform professors, and/or classmates of best methods of assistance during an emergency.
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL SPILL/RELEASE EMERGENCY ACTION
1. Call 911 and report incident. 2. Secure the area. 3. Assist the injured. 4. Evacuate if necessary.
TORNADO EMERGENCY ACTION
1. Avoid automobiles and open areas. 2. Move to a basement or corridor. 3. Stay away from windows. 4. Do not call 911 unless you require emergency assistance.
9
SHELTER IN PLACE EMERGENCY ACTION
1. Stay inside a building. 2. Seek inside shelter if outside. 3. Seal off openings to your room if possible. 4. Remain in place until you are told that it is safe to leave.
BOMB THREATS EMERGENCY ACTION
1. Call 911 and report incident. 2. If a suspicious object is observed (e.g. a bag or package left unattended): • Don’t touch it! • Evacuate the area.
TERRORISM AND ACTIVE SHOOTER SITUATIONS EMERGENCY ACTION
1. Call 911 and report intruder.
RUN, HIDE OR FIGHT TIPS:
1. Prepare – frequent training drills to prepare the most effectively. 2. Run and take others with you – learn to stay in groups if possible. 3. Leave the cellphone. 4. Can’t run? Hide – lock the door and lock or block the door to prevent the shooter from coming
inside the room. 5. Silence your cellphone -- use landline phone line. 6. Why the landline? It allows emergency responders to know your physical location. 7. Fight – learn to “fight for your life” by utilizing everything you can use as a weapon. 8. Forget about getting shot – fight! You want to buy time to distract the shooter to allow time for
emergency responders to arrive. 9. Aim high – attack the shooter in the upper half of the body: the face, hands, shoulder, neck. 10. Fight as a group – the more people come together, the better the chance to take down the
shooter. 11. Whatever you do, do something – “react immediately” is the better option to reduce traumatic
incidents.
