What To Do
GENERAL GUIDELINES
- Employees can facilitate a safe and speedy evacuation by holding all doors open, directing people, and keeping calm. If you have been assigned a post (see detailed instructions below), please go there immediately.
- Employees SHOULD NOT EXIT until all students are out of the facility, unless your assigned post is outside the building.
Once the alarms sound:
- Library staff will notify all patrons to exit the building immediately.
- Student employees are to leave as well - student ambassadors and peer tutors are NOT responsible for evacuating patrons.
- Library staff posts - daytime:
- Front Sidewalk (across "bridge"): Mornings -- circulation clerk (and student workers)
Afternoons -- circulation clerk (and student workers)
- Front Stairwell Emergency Doors: access services librarian (E. Wilburn)
- Front Exterior Exit Doors: reference librarians (P. Bond, D. Curtin)
- Back Emergency Doors: resource sharing librarian (S. Trencansky)
- Clear Reference Area and Computers: electronic resources librarian (N. Roth)
- Clear Gallery and Mini-Lab/Classroom Computers: senior account clerk (C. Micholychak)
- Second Floor & Final First Floor Sweep: library director (R. Petrus)
- Library staff posts -- evening/weekend:
- Clear Reference Area and Second Floor: librarian (B. Van Tol)
- Clear Gallery and Mini-Lab/Classroom Computers: circulation clerk(s) (M. Kinne, A. Kerila, D. Swift)
- Library staff holding front exit doors will inform patrons attempting to enter the building that the library is closed due to an emergency.
- Patrons exiting the front of the Library should be directed to walk over the Library "bridge" and across the sidewalk to allow emergency vehicles to park near the Library building.
- Patrons exiting the building at the back/lower level exit should assemble in the parking lot, leaving TWO parking lanes between their group and the building for emergency vehicle access.
- Once the Library is cleared, all staff members are to leave the building (if they have not already) and wait for campus security/BCC administration to give further instructions.
