If the fire alarm goes off please turn off all bunsen

If the Fire Alarm goes off, please turn-off all Bunsen Burners and exit your
Lab calmly and quietly using either of the Exits to the Hallway. Turn Right and
use the South Stairwell to exit the Building. If you are in the Incubator Rooms or
the Cold Room, please exit the Incubator or Cold Room. Turn Left and use the
South Stairwell to exit the Building.
Keep in Mind that several Hundred Students from other Second and
Third Floor Labs will be using the Stairwells.
Do not use the Elevators.
Regroup with the rest of the Lab Outside of the Building in the Gravel-Paved
Bike Rack Area between the Science Labs Building and the Sciences Lecture
Hall. We want to be sure all Students have safely exited the Building.
Stay out of any Street or Pathway so Emergency Personnel and their
Equipment can be moved into place.
Follow the Instructions of all Uniformed Emergency Personnel.

Earthquake
In the Event of an Earthquake, turn-off all Bunsen Burners and get underneath
your Lab Bench or in a Doorway. If you are in the Incubators or the Cold Room,
move as rapidly as possible into the Hallway.
Expect Light Fixtures, Ceiling Tiles, and Lab Equipment to fall and make
considerable Noise. The Fire Alarm may go off and the Fire Doors may
automatically close.
Stay away from Windows. The Floor to Ceiling Windows at the South End of the
Hallway near the Stairwell and the Windows making-up the West Wall of the
Stairwell could shatter during or shortly after the Earthquake. Stay as far away
from any Windows as possible.
The Fire Doors may automatically close. These will include the Fire Doors down
the Hallway to the North toward Kleiber Hall, the Fire Doors immediately in front
of the Elevator, and the Fire Doors at the Entrances to all Stairwells. You will
need to press on the Aluminum Bar to open these Fire Doors.
It is possible that the Earthquake may cause a Fire in the Building. Do not assume
that the Fire Doors closed because of the Earthquake. If the Aluminum Bar or the
Fire Door itself is Hot, don’t open it.
A significantly stronger, structurally damaging Motion may follow shortly
thereafter so it is Important to exit the Building as soon as possible.
Once the Motion ceases, immediately exit your Lab calmly and quietly using
either of the Exits to the Hallway. Turn Right and use the South Stairwell to exit
the Building. If you were in the Incubator Rooms or the Cold Room, turn Left and
use the South Stairwell to exit the Building
The Stairs are designed to move independently of any Motions of the Building.
Don’t be alarmed by new and interesting Gaps, Cracks, Motions, Noises and/or
Broken Glass in the Stairwell.
Keep in Mind that several Hundred Students from other Second and
Third Floor Labs will be using the Stairwells.
Do not use the Elevators.
Regroup with the rest of the Lab Outside of the Building in the Gravel-Paved
Bike Rack Area between the Science Labs Building and the Sciences Lecture
Hall. We want to be sure all Students have safely exited the Building.
