Review your building emergency plan
Employees are encouraged to review the building emergency plan for their work location/s annually. Taking a few minutes now can help you know what to do, where to go and where to find important safety resources during an emergency.
What is a building emergency plan?
Building emergency plans provide emergency procedures specific to each building, along with diagrams identifying safety features and resources, which may include:
- Building exits
- ADA (wheelchair) accessible secure room locations
- AED and medical kit locations
- Evacuation points
- Panic button locations
- Controlled building entry points
Familiarizing yourself with your building's emergency plan can help you understand the emergency procedures that apply to your workplace and your role.
How can I find my building emergency plan?
- Public map: Visit the University Public Map and select your building or use the search feature. Select “Emergency Plan” in the building’s pop-up window.
- BEP webpage: Visit the Building Emergency Plan webpage. Plans are organized by campus or location.
