Campus Wide Evacuation
The procedures for a campus-wide evacuation will vary. In cases when the decision has been made to evacuate, the campus will likely be evacuated in stages, beginning with the areas near the incident. Other areas may then be evacuated, depending on the nature of the incident.
This graduated evacuation is preferable to a total, immediate evacuation, as it identifies the populations most in danger, minimizes the likelihood of gridlock and congestion, and provides access to emergency vehicles and first responder personnel.
