In the event that Dakota Hall must be evacuated, the following procedures shall be followed.

3. All persons within the Dakota Hall Building will assemble on the South side of Old Main.  This will allow quick assessment for any missing persons and avoid interference with emergency responders.  In the event of weather conditions where shelter is desired, please go inside Aalfs Auditorium for comfort and safety.
4. All persons are asked to remain in the safe area until released by UPD (University Police Department).
