Evacuate

  • Pull the nearest fire alarm
  • Use the nearest exit
  • Do not use elevators
  • Persons with disabilities, that cannot use the stairs, should wait for trained responders
  • Take your belongings IF they are nearby
  • Move to a safe distance
  • Re-enter only if directed by first responders
  • Let others know about the evacuation & encourage them to exit
  • NEVER ignore the alarm - do not assume it is false - do not assume it is a test.
  • Everyone MUST evacuate the building by way of the safest and closest exit and/or stairway. NEVER use an elevator to exit during a fire alarm evacuation.
  • Do not obstruct the fire fighters access to the building. Assemble away from where they will be operating.
  • Once outside, never re-enter until you are told to do so by Lincoln Fire and Rescue or the University Police Department.
