Student Evacuation Procedures
In general, Indiana University policy includes the posting of “EMERGENCY EVACUATION” signage in prominent locations in all buildings. On these signs are instructions for evacuation procedures from a student’s individual room, including: Call 911, get dressed, take room key, feel door, check for smoke, alert others while exiting and be accounted for in your predetermined “safe location” and a “You Are Here” drawing of the building..
All residents who live in on-campus housing, owned by Indiana University, are provided with a handbook that outlines the fire safety requirements for those units. These handbooks are reviewed and updated annually. Inspections are conducted on student housing to ensure safe fire practices are followed.
All residents are reminded to take all fire alarms seriously.
For the safety of individuals and others in the community, it is important to exit in a calm and orderly manner to prevent accidents. Exiting the building allows fire personnel in emergencies to concentrate on those unable to leave and saving the structure and possessions within the building.
