| Utility Failure
In the event of a major utility failure:
- Immediately dial 911.
- If an emergency exists, activate the building alarm. Caution: The building alarm may be local, therefore it may ring only in the building, and you must also report the emergency by telephone.
- All building evacuation will occur when an alarm sounds continuously and/or when an emergency exists.
- Assist the disabled in exiting the building! Remember that the elevators are reserved for disabled persons.
- Do not use elevators in case of fire.
- Once outside move to a clear area at least 500 feet away form the affected building(s). Keep the walkways, fire lanes and hydrants clear for emergency crews.
- If requested, assist the emergency crews as necessary.
- A campus Emergency Command Post may be set up near the emergency site. Keep clear of the command post unless you have official business.
- If you are trapped in the elevator, use the emergency phone to notify the Butler University Police Department. If the emergency phone does not work, turn on the alarm.
- Do not return to an evacuated building unless told to do so by a university official.
