Type of Emergency

The activation of a pull station should be followed-up with a call to 911 from a safe location. Any emergency warrants a call to 911, even if you think another person may have called. Specify whether you need police, medical, or fire assistance.

If the alarm sounds:

Stop what you are doing
Secure any dangerous activity
Assist persons with special exiting needs
Leave the building immediately by the nearest and safest exit
Do not use elevators
Do not re-enter the building if the alarm stops—wait until the “All Clear” has been given by the local fire department or campus police services

If the emergency involves an unconscious or injured person, ensure there is:

No danger to yourself or the victim
Do not remove the victim unless their life is endangered by staying in the current location
Call 911 and remain with the victim until help arrives

Report the events of the emergency to your supervisor or department head as soon as you can do so safely.

*A designated emergency gathering point is a predetermined location that is a safe distance from the building. Be prepared to relocate if wind direction or fire location presents problems.

**Emergency Procedures Flip Charts are available from the ASU Department of Public Safety Main (480) 965-3456, East (480) 727-3456, and West (602) 543-3456. Please review the flip chart upon receipt for ease of use in case of an emergency.
