Student Evacuation Guidelines
Know where emergency exits are
located
Be familiar with at least two
exits from:
Each of your classrooms
The library
The cafeteria
Any labs you attend
Other locations you visit
frequently
Use the “Buddy System”• Connect with someone in your
class that can be your “Buddy”.
• A “Buddy” is someone who will
stay with you in case of an
evacuation and knows if you
need help leaving the building.
• If you are absent from class, your
“Buddy” will be able to let
emergency personnel know.
When you hear the fire alarm –
LEAVE
IMMEDIATELY!!!
Don’t wait for class to be
dismissed.
Stop what you are doing!
Shut down any experiments and
turn off gas and electricity.
Won’t worry about work on the
computer, hit save and leave. If
the computer is still there, the
College has employees that can
recover your files.
Turn off equipment that may
cause a hazard if left alone, or
when power is restored.
Stay calm. Don’t Panic
Depending on the situation, it
may not be easy to keep
calm.
If you practice, in your mind,
what you would do if the fire
alarm were to sound, you will
be more able to stay calm.
Take only your personal belongings
Proceed to the nearest EXIT
Close, but don’t lock the door as you leave.
Closing the door will help keep a
fire from spreading as quickly as it
would with the door open.
Don’t lock the door, because you
or someone else may need to
take refuge in that room.
If Unable to Leave:
Have one person call the EPCC
Police Department at 831-2200.
(multiple calls at the same time
will tie up the PD phone)
Tell the dispatcher your location
and stay on the line for further
instructions.
Dispatch is manned 24/7
Go to the nearest stairwell, if in a multi-
storied building
Stay to the right of the stairs as you
descend.
Keep talking and noise to a
minimum in order to hear any
directions if they are given.
Don’t take the elevator!!
Elevator shafts can fill with smoke.
Electricity can go out and leave
you stranded in the elevator.
Go to the nearest outside exit• Walk quickly, don’t run.
• Continue through the doors and
keep walking.
Pull the fire alarm
If the alarm cannot be heard
where you are exiting the
building, pull the alarm at the
outside exit.
Do not put the alarm in case of a
bomb threat.
Alarm Sounds
Leave the Building, Immediately
Go to gathering area, wait for instructions.
Go back in the building or leave when told to do so by EPCC PD or Safety Corps member
Do NOT stop at the doorway!!!
Stopping close to the doorways
can prevent others from being
able to exit.
Stopping close to the doorways
can be dangerous.
Keep Moving
As you exit the building, keep
moving until you reach a safe
area.
Safe Area
Safe areas are places that
are at least 100 yards away
from the building.
Your instructor may have a
designated safe area for
their class to assemble. If
so, meet there for further
instructions.
WHY 300 Feet?
Emergency vehicles need a lot of room.
Fire trucks are very, very large and
need a lot of room to operate.
Explosions can happen.
Gas lines can erupt from heat.
Go to a pre-designated gathering area or parking
lot.
•Do not leave. You may impede
emergency vehicles.
•Stay there until told to re-enter
the building or to leave.
•The EPCC PD will direct traffic.
In the parking lot
You can get into your vehicle, but
don’t leave until the EPCC Police
or EPCC Safety Corps members
direct you to do so. Leaving
could cause a traffic jam.
Emergency vehicles need the
room to come in.
Wait until told that you can re-enter the building by:
• EPCC PD
• Safety Corps Member
• El Paso PD
• El Paso Fire Department
