If an emergency occurs on campus, find the nearest Emergency Evaluation sign for assistance. These signs provide information on exit routes, tornado shelters, first aid kits, fire extinguishers, and accessible exits. Remain calm and do not put yourself in danger. Know your building's evacuation plan and the locations of emergency equipment and personnel. Be aware of potential hazards like cluttered exits, chemicals, or electrical issues, and report them. Understand the different warning sirens and take shelter accordingly. Provide help to those who need assistance evacuating. Knowing emergency procedures can save lives.
