Ensure that occupants have vacated your area of responsibility in the event of an evacuation; if safe to do so, check to ensure all personnel have been evacuated safely. Facilities Personnel will assist as sweepers when possible. Know where their Designated Meeting Site is and communicate this information to occupants. Ensure that disabled persons and visitors are assisted in evacuating the building. Evaluate and report problems to the Operations Section Chief after an emergency event.

Practice The Plan Have you walked through your building? How would you do an evacuation? – Where would you start? – Where would you end? – Have you covered all areas? How would you initiate a ‘lock down’ in your building if instructed to do so? – Are there areas that need manual locking?

Get Help Executing Your Responsibilities Are there others you can count on to help? Have you practiced what you want them to do? How to engage the faculty in assisting in the event of an emergency

Faculty Responsibility Find out the faculty teaching in your building each semester. Let them know you are the building monitor. Encourage them to keep a current roster of students. They are the leader in the class – If an evacuation or lock down is required, they need to lead students; identify any students needing assistance.
