• Wait for and follow instructions from emergency personnel or your building Safety Coordinator.
  
  
• If you are SHELTERING IN PLACE, stay inside the building or find a safe place.
  
  
• Do not use elevators.
  
  
• If you are in a room with a door, make sure the door is closed.
  
  
• Due to the varying age of campus buildings, doors may lock manually, remotely or not at all. If applicable and time permits, lock doors.
