system Action to be taken ND Alert System Public Address System Follow instructions – Fire Alarm - Audible Horn and Visual Strobe Light Evacuate building E. Severe Weather/Tornado When a tornado warning is announced, all employees and guests should immediately go to their designated tornado refuge area. This is the main stair wells and the lower level interior hallways. Move away from windows. All employees and guests should stay in the tornado refuge area until given the all clear sign. The designated tornado refuge area is <ENTER LOCATION/S HERE>. (See diagram). F. Training Training is accomplished by an employee reading this document or by instruction from an immediate supervisor or department leadership: 1. For employees when the plan is initiated, substantive changes are made to the plan and/or facility; 2. When an employee’s responsibilities substantively change involving safety related activities; and 3. For new employees (new hires or transfers) V. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS In most cases employees are at less risk if they evacuate rather than use fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers are available yet we do not have an expectation that people utilize fire extinguishers in the event of a fire. If you are going to use a fire extinguisher, you must be trained annually and they should only be used for small fires. Training can be completed on-line via ComplyND. Fight the fire only if: The Fire Department has been notified. The fire is small and is not spreading to other areas. An escape route is available. The fire extinguisher is in working condition and personnel are trained to use it. VI. RESCUE AND MEDICAL DUTIES It may become necessary in an emergency to rescue personnel and perform some specified medical duties, including first-aid treatment. All employees assigned to perform such duties will have been properly trained and equipped to carry out their assigned responsibilities properly and safely. Generally the Notre Dame Fire Department and Security Police Department provide these services. The Wellness Center is an additional resource for staff and faculty. University Health Services is an additional resource for students. VII. Procedure for Reporting Emergencies To report any emergency including fire, medical, contact the emergency dispatch center by dialing from any campus phone or 574-631-5555 from a cell phone. Fire Alarm Pull Stations are also available to activate in-building fire alarms and notify the emergency dispatch center. VIII.
