Introduction

These guidelines are for responding to emergencies at Minnesota State University Moorhead. Not all emergencies fall within the parameters of a defined plan; sometimes individual judgment will be your best guide. Your preparedness, awareness and self-discipline are keys to an orderly and safe emergency response.

There are two basic procedures to follow during a building emergency: evacuation or relocation. Emergencies involving probable evacuation are:

• Fire, flame or smoke
• Floods
• Bomb threats

Other emergencies that may require only relocation to safe areas within the interior of the building are:

• Weather related
• Utilities failure
• Medical, accidental or health
• Hazardous material release
• Civil disturbances
• Bomb threats
• Hostage situations

NOTE: Building or department-specific information may differ from the details offered in this guide. Refer to the Emergency Plans posted in classrooms, meeting areas, departments and residence halls. For further information contact:
