What do to if a Shelter-in-Place is issued?
If a Shelter-in-Place is issued, find the nearest enclosed building and find a safe
space away from doors and windows.
Check for shelter-in-place directives for the UH Campus.
If a tornado warning is issued, seek shelter indoors in an interior room, on the lowest
floor possible, and away from windows.
What to do during an evacuation?
To evacuate means to leave the dangerous or hazardous area.
Evacuate when the fire alarm is sounding, if the fire alarm is not sounding, activate
the nearest pull station.
Call 713-743-333 or 911 to report the fire.
Notify and assist people in the immediate area.
As you leave, close all doors behind you to limit the movement of smoke and/or flames.
Do not re-enter the building until authorized to do so by emergency personnel.
Never assume an alarm is false.
Do not use an elevator to evacuate.
If unable to exit the building, go to the nearest exit stairwell or safe area of refuge
and call 713-743-3333 or 911 to report your location.
If trained, use a fire extinguisher if the fire is small and contained, and the room
is not filled with smoke.
