In the event of a violent accident such as an explosion or aircraft crash or similar incident on campus that could render a building or area unsafe, take the following actions:
- Immediately take cover under tables, desks, and other such objects that will give protection against falling glass or debris, or evacuate if possible.
- After the explosion, notify Campus Security at 740-283-6911, and the building contact person. Give your name and describe the location and nature of the emergency.
- When appropriate, or you are told to leave by Campus Security or by authorized University personnel, walk quickly to the nearest marked exit and alert others to do the same.
- Assist people with disabilities in exiting the building. Do not use elevators in case of fire.
- Once outside, move to a clear area away from the affected building. Keep streets and walkways clear for emergency vehicles and personnel.
- Do not return to an evacuated building unless directed to do so by Campus Security or authorized University personnel.
- Do not try to locate the source of the explosion.
