Introduction
These guidelines are for responding to emergencies at Minnesota State University Moorhead. Not all emergencies fall within the parameters of a defined plan; sometimes individual judgment will be your best guide. Your preparedness, awareness and self-discipline are keys to an orderly and safe emergency response.
There are two basic procedures to follow during a building emergency: evacuation or relocation. Emergencies involving probable evacuation are:
- Fire, flame or smoke
- Floods
- Bomb threats
Other emergencies that may require only relocation to safe areas within the interior of the building are:
- Weather related
- Utilities failure
- Medical, accidental or health
- Hazardous material release
- Civil disturbances
- Bomb threats
- Hostage situations
