Evacuation

Building Evacuation

Learn more about building evacuations and how to prepare for them.

If an emergency event arises that warrants the evacuation of your campus, do you know where you will go? How will you get there? While a complete campus evacuation is highly unlikely, the possibility still exists. For example, a large hurricane could strike your location and evacuating the area might be the best response to protect lives. You will be able to respond best during a crisis if you prepare for it in advance.
