EVACUATE CAMPUS

EVACUATE BUILDINGS

Go to Lot #5, Lot #1, Lot #2, the Football Field or the Athletic Field. Follow the directions of your instructor, WLAC supervisors and law enforcement. Please assist disabled persons.

• When the alarm is sounding either by the bell or by someone's voice, walk quickly to the nearest marked exit and ask others to do the same.
• Walk down the stairs keeping to the far right as much as possible.
• Direct the handicapped to the proper exit and prepare to assist them if they need assistance.
• When outside, move away from the buildings and out of the path of emergency vehicles. IF YOU WERE IN CLASS, PLEASE STAY WITH YOUR CLASS SO THAT YOU CAN BE ACCOUNTED FOR.
