For detailed instructions for many different situations, consult the UCSC Emergency Procedures Site.
All personnel should familiarize themselves with the following information:
Know the quickest exit route out of the building by studying the emergency evacuation routes posted on all floors. Have a backup or alternate path out of the building. Elevators and bridges should be avoided in emergencies and should not be used in the event of fire or earthquake. In emergencies other than fire and earthquake, elevators may be used by people with mobility impairments.
Know how to turn off machinery and equipment at your worksite which if left running for an extended period may create additional safety hazards (e.g. coffee makers, bunsen burners, toaster ovens, etc.)

When Evacuating Your Building or Work Area:
Should you encounter a fire or find significant smoke in our buildings, please do the following.
Step Two: After an earthquake is over and it is safe to come out from under the table, carefully evacuate the building. Stay away from windows or at least when passing by large windows proceed as if they are broken and may fall inwards on you.

A suspicious-looking box, package, object or container in or near your work area may be a bomb or explosive material. Do not handle or touch the object. Move to a safe area and call 911 immediately. Use a telephone in a safe area. Do not operate any power switch and do not activate the fire alarm.
If There Is an Explosion:
Take cover under sturdy furniture, or leave the building if directed to do so by emergency responders.
Stay away from windows.
Do not light matches.
Move well away from the site of the hazard to a safe location.
Use stairs only; do not use elevators.
If You Receive A Bomb Threat:
Stay calm and try to keep your voice calm.

Take notes. Ask questions:
Call 911 and submit your notes from the telephone call or the bomb threat letter or note to the Police. Follow any instructions the Police give you.

Area Coordinators are responsible for monitoring persons in his/her assigned area (within the building) and assisting or directing safe evacuation. This individual gathers information regarding injury within his or her assigned area and reports it to emergency and/or BSOE facilities personnel who will be located outside the building at the designated assembly area.
Each area has an alternate coordinator as well. In the absence of the area coordinator, this individual assumes the primary role of the area coordinator.

The Westside Research Park occupancy is very fluid. The general population fluctuates day to day. Therefore, Area Coordinators are directed to sweep through their designated areas to ensure the safe evacuation of all employees currently occupying the building. Sweep through stairwells for individuals with mobility impairments.
Building personnel will contact Risk Services after an actual emergency event for direction and resolution.
