Emergency Evacuation Plan

An evacuation will be indicated by a fire alarm or notice from the Hope International University Crisis Management Command Coordinator (CMCC).

Evacuation Assembly Area – Nutwood Lawn (north side of the library)

Evacuation Plan

• In the case of an evacuation, the library staff and patrons will leave the library toward the north and meet on the Nutwood Lawn.


• The Building Coordinator will make an announcement to alert all occupants with the following script:



“Your attention please, we have just been informed that we need to evacuate the building. Please calmly proceed out the north exits to the lawn facing Nutwood Avenue. Thank you for your cooperation.”



• The Building Coordinator (or designee) will take the Emergency Procedures Flip Book, Library Staff emergency contact information, and Library Staff regular schedules.


• Once assembled, the Building Coordinator will take roll, writing down the names and condition (i.e., in need of medical attention) of all present and those known to be absent or missing, reporting to the Crisis Management Coordinator as needed.


• The library staff and patrons will remain on the Nutwood Lawn until given further instructions from University or Emergency Officials.
