Answer

Evacuation Plan

In the event that Noteboom Hall must be evacuated, the following procedures shall be followed:

  1. Upon activation of the fire alarm, all persons within the Noteboom Hall will immediately begin exiting the building through the nearest available exit route. 
    1. Elevators should NOT be used during an evacuation event unless necessary for the evacuation of a disabled/handicapped person.
    2. Prior to leaving the room, any open fires, hot plates, coffee pots, or similar equipment should be turned off. 
    3. Electrical equipment that cannot be left unattended for prolonged periods should also be turned off prior to exiting the room. 
  1. Designated staff from each floor will quickly survey the floor to assure that evacuation is in progress or completed.  The following staff have been designated:
  • Lower level – Doug Peterson
  • First floor – Sara McBride
  • Second floor – Carmen Stewart
  • Third floor –  Bonita Manger
  1. All persons within Noteboom Hall will convene on the lawn on the north side of the Old Main Building.  This will allow quick assessment for any missing persons and avoid interference with the emergency responders. 
  2. In the event of weather conditions where shelter is desired, please move away from Noteboom Hall and go inside Old Main for comfort and safety.

Severe Weather Plan

  1. In the event of severe weather alerts such as tornado or severe thunderstorm, persons within Noteboom Hall should immediately proceed to the Lower Level of the building using the fastest route available.  
  2. In the event that the Lower Level is not available or cannot be reached safely, persons within Noteboom Hall should immediately proceed to the first floor central hallway and close the steel security doors at each end of the central hallway. 
  3. Designated staff from each floor will quickly survey the floor to assure that evacuation is in progress or has been completed.  The following staff have been designated: 
  • Lower level – Doug Peterson
  • First floor – Sara McBride
  • Second floor – Carmen Stewart
  • Third floor –  Bonita Manger
