Shelter in Place Procedures
Shelter-in-place is used during inclement/severe weather and specific outdoor hazardous materials releases. If an incident requires individuals to shelter-in-place, faculty, students, staff, or department head/designee will prepare to shelter-in-place.

- Ensure individuals with disabilities are assisted in getting indoors.
- Close windows and doors.
