Evacuation

Objective

To prepare the occupants of the building for an organized evacuation of the building.

Provide students with the opportunity to learn where Emergency Exits are and how the evacuation procedure occurs.

Overview

In the event of an evacuation, or an evacuation drill, an evacuation notice will be sounded from the emergency intercom system throughout campus. SVCC security and administration on the scene will communicate information to students regarding the developing situation or an evacuation status change. Students, employees, and visitors will be asked to leave the building (a safe distance of 500 ft.) during evacuation or drills that simulate a building fire or structural failure.
