EXPLOSION, AIRCRAFT CRASH, OR SIMILAR INCIDENT

In the event a violent accident -- such as an explosion or aircraft crash -- occurs that could render a building or area unsafe, stay calm and quickly take the following steps:

1. Immediately take cover under tables, desks, or other such objects which will give protection against falling glass or debris.

2. As soon as possible, notify Security at extension 7777. Give your name and describe the location and nature of the emergency.

3. When you are told to leave by Security or by the Building Coordinator, walk quickly to the nearest marked exit and alert others to do the same.

4. ASSIST THE DISABLED IN EXITING THE BUILDING! Remember that elevators are reserved for disabled persons' use only. DO NOT USE ELEVATORS IN CASE OF FIRE.

5. Once outside, move to an assigned clear area away from the affected building(s). Keep streets and walkways clear for emergency vehicles and personnel. Stay with your group in assigned area and await further instructions.

6. If requested, assist the Security Officer, the Emergency Response Team, or the Building Coordinator.

7. An On-Site Command Post may be established near the emergency site. Keep clear of the On-Site Command Post unless you have important information to report.

8. DO NOT RETURN TO AN EVACUATED BUILDING unless directed to do so by Security
