Emergency Procedures

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.
