Evacuations

Some disasters, emergencies, and incidents require Carroll College employees, students and guests to evacuate a building. The four steps of evacuation are:

  1. Evacuate
  2. Assemble
  3. Account
  4. Report Ability to Assist Others

The policy of Carroll College is that all occupants will evacuate the building immediately in the event of activation of the fire alarm system or other means of notification. For other disasters, emergencies, and incidents, individuals on campus may be instructed to take alternative personal protection measures as defined by guidelines for the type of event.

Individuals will evacuate using the closest available marked exit. When an employee, student, or guest is away from their assigned work area or residence, they will evacuate the building using the same route as the employees in that location. Do not return to your work area or residence.

  • Important factors to remember are:
  • If anything suspicious is noted, report this information immediately to an Emergency Response Team member for the building which you are evacuating;
  • Do not touch or handle anything suspicious;
  • Walk as fast as possible, but do not run;
  • Do not return to your work area or residence to retrieve personal items;
  • Help those who need assistance; and
  • If the closest exit is unavailable, use the next nearest exit. All persons will proceed out of the building as directed by Emergency Response Team members. Emergency Response Team members are those employees wearing orange vests.

When exiting, individuals will stay to the inside of the stairwell if possible. Employees, students and guests must remain attentive to all traffic including emergency response vehicle activity when traveling to the assembly area. If the designated assembly area is unavailable, please use the Campus Center Main Lounge as the primary assembly area. The secondary assembly area will be located in the PE Center Lobby. All employees, students and guests are required to remain at the assembly area location until instructed otherwise.
