7. Building Marshal Program
Building Marshals are campus employees who work in regularly occupied campus buildings and volunteer to perform essential activities for the purpose of minimizing injury to campus faculty, staff and students in the event of an emergency.
The immediate actions of Building Marshals can reduce the number and severity of injuries, instill calm and order in the midst of a crises, and lessen the burden on first responders.
Training opportunities
Building Marshals are primarily responsible for three key actions in an emergency:
Assist in evacuation
Secure entrances/exits and restrict re-entry
Report pertinent information to first responders (trapped individuals, locked doors, and injuries)

8. Evacuation Rally Points
Available at emergency.csulb.edu
Does not determine how you evacuate your building, just where to head once you are outside
Why Have Assembly Areas?
Safest Option (recommendations from LBFD and approval from state fire marshal)
Account for missing people
Containment
Information sharing
Tested during annual drill

9. Evacuation Considerations
Title 8 Section 3220 (Cal-OSHA), states in part:
10.0 EVACUATION PROCEDURES State law requires all building occupants to promptly evacuate when the fire alarm sounds or when ordered to do so by emergency response personnel.
The “State Law” being referred to is Title 19 (State Fire Marshal) which states:
Title 19 California Code of Regulations (CCR) § Evacuation of Buildings: Upon notification of fire, conduct of any fire drill, upon activation of the fire alarm, or upon orders of the fire authority having jurisdiction, buildings or structures within the scope of these regulations shall be immediately evacuated or occupants shall be relocated in accordance with established plans.
CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION
Violations and Penalties
Any person who violates any provisions of this chapter or any regulation or building standard adopted by the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Section is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by imprisonment for not more than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
