Shelter In Place—Stay Inside!
SHELTER IN PLACE
means staying put and, if possible, choosing a small room with as few windows as possible for refuge. STAY INSIDE!
Procedures:
- Stop classes or work operations.
- Remain inside the building and ask others to do the same.
- If possible, relocate to a room on the safest floor, preferably interior, with the fewest windows, farthest from the location of the incident.
- Call emergency contacts to tell them who is sheltering in place and that they are safe.
- Close and lock all windows and doors.
- Do not erect barricades or obstacles in the event a fire or other incidents that would make it necessary to evacuate.
- Remain sheltered until otherwise directed by the Xavier Police Department.
