In the event of an explosion or a downed aircraft (crash) on campus:

• Immediately take cover under tables, desks and other objects, which will give protection from falling glass or debris.

• After the effects of the explosion and/or fire has subsided notify the Butler University Police Department at 911. Give your name and describe the location and nature of the emergency. The Butler University Police Department will notify the Indianapolis Fire Department and the other necessary agencies.

• If necessary, or when directed to do so, activate the building alarm. Caution: The building alarm rings only in some building - you must also report the emergency by telephone.

• When the building evacuations alarm is sounded or when told to leave by University officials walk quickly to the nearest marked exit and ask others to do the same.

• Assist the disabled in exiting the building! Remember that elevators are reserved for disabled persons. Do not use elevators in case of fire.

• Once outside move to a clear area that is at least 500 feet away from the affected building. Keep streets and walkways clear for emergency vehicles and crews.

• If requested, assist emergency crews as necessary.

• A campus Emergency Command Post may be set up near the disaster site. Keep clear of the command post unless you have official business.

If an incident command post is established, a representative from Construction and Maintenance will report to the incident commander to help facilitate with any questions from the emergency response teams.

Do not return to an evacuated building unless told to do so by a university official.
