ITEMS NOT PERMITTED IN THE RESIDENCE HALLS The following are not permitted in the residence halls at any time: Open flames (candles, lighters, matches) Smoking Hot Plates in the room EVACUATION PROCEDURES Once the fire alarm is set off, Residence Life staff, security or maintenance will evacuate all those in the Residence Hall and move them to the safest place possible away from the building. Residence Life staff will go from room to room and enter the room and tell hose in the room that they will need to evacuate immediately. Those students found not in compliance are fined for failure to evacuate. They will then proceed to the fire panel box to see where the alarm is located and go investigate the problem. Most the residence halls are on an automatic call from our alarm company, Midwest Alarm, to call Sioux City Fire Rescue. Residence Life staff will at no time put themselves in danger to put out a fire. If they are unable to extinguish the fire with an extinguisher, they will evacuate and let Sioux City Fire Rescue know of the location and extent of the fire if one is present. Once Sioux City Fire Rescue gives the to Campus “all-clear” Security and/or Residence Life, students will be allowed to re-enter the Residence Hall and rooms. If there is an extended period of time that the students may be outside during inclement weather, they will be moved to another building until the situation is resolved. If there happens to be a fire and the building is not suitable for occupancy, temporary housing will be provided on campus in cooperation with University staff and the Siouxland Red Cross is warranted. Reporting Fires If a fire does occur on campus, students, faculty, and staff are to call 911 and Campus Security to notify them of the situation. Security staff also notifies the Director of Security when there are alarms on campus and when Sioux City Fire Rescue is on scene. If there is a fire, the Director and/or the Assistant Director of Security will respond accordingly along with the Director of Facilities and Vice President for Student Development. When a fire occurs in the residence halls, the Director of Security and/or Assistant Director of Security will notify the Vice President of Business and Finance, Vice President of Student Services, and Marketing, Dean of Students, and Dean of the University, and the President.
