Utility Failure

  • General
    • For all utility emergencies, notify Facilities at 792-7456 (weekdays 8 am – 4 pm) and University Police at (111) (evenings, weekends and holidays). At any time, you may notify University Police at 792-7222.
    • Evacuate the building if the fire alarm sounds and/or upon notification by University Police.
  • Power Outage
    • A major power outage may not in itself be destructive, but a possible resulting panic or fire could endanger life and property. Panic can be partially avoided by an immediate decision on the need to cancel classes or meetings in progress or to evacuate the building.
    • Fume hoods do not operate during a power outage and most laboratories should not be used until the ventilation is properly restored. Laboratory personnel should secure experiments or activities that may present a danger when the electrical power is off or when it is restored unexpectedly. Close sashes on fume hoods and clean up or put away chemicals. Do not perform procedures using hazardous materials until power is restored.
  • Flooding or Water Break
    • If flooding occurs, stop using all electrical devices.
    • Notify Facilities Monday – Friday ( 8am – 4pm) from a campus phone and evacuate the area or building, if unavailable, notify University Police at (111)
  • Gas Leak
    • Cease all operations immediately and evacuate the area as soon as possible, notifying others as you leave.
    • Do not switch lights on or off.
    • Do not take time to open windows or close doors.
    • From a safe distance call University Police at (111) or by using one of the Emergency Call Boxes or ‘Red Emergency Phones’.
    • DO NOT re-enter the building until cleared to do so by University Police or other proper authorities.
  • Elevator failure
    • If you are trapped, push the alarm button.
    • If you have a cellular telephone, call University Police at (111). Remain calm and wait for help to arrive.
    • If you discover trapped people, notify University Police at (111), talk to the trapped people and try to keep them calm until an officer or other help arrives.
  • Water line / sewer failure
    • In the event of a water line/sewer failure, remain calm and follow these steps:
      • Notify the University Police immediately at (111). Advise them of the severity and location of the problem. Indicate if any people or objects are in imminent danger.
      • Use extreme caution if any electrical appliances/outlets are near the water. Stop using all electrical equipment.
      • If the source of the water is known and you are confident you can stop it safely, (i.e. unclog the drain, turn off the water), do so cautiously.
      • Assist with protecting objects from water damage by removing them from the area.
      • If directed to evacuate, follow the same directions for a building evacuation.
