Evacuation Procedures - Day

This outlines the role of MLC personnel in the case of an emergency in the building (such as fire) that requires evacuation or requires movement to assigned safe areas within the building. All building personnel have a role in assisting MLC Security in:

• Notifying building users that there is an emergency requiring evacuation
• Directing building users to evacuation routes and assembly areas
• Informing Security Staff if there are any building users trapped or requiring assistance in evacuation.

Shelter Outside - OUTSIDE ASSEMBLY AREAS

Because building users will be exiting the building from multiple doors, outside assembly areas are any spaces that are at least 200 feet away from the building. These include:

• Tate Center Plaza
• Baxter Street Extension Sidewalk
• Quad in front of Tate Expansion
• Fine Arts
• Sculpture Garden
• Memorial Garden (behind Military Science)

Once you have notified the building users on your floor, proceed to the exits and to the door you will be monitoring.

Shelter Inside - INSIDE ASSEMBLY AREAS

In the event of severe weather only, MLC staff will meet in front of 1st Floor West elevator lobby. Once staff have gathered, they will be dispersed as needed to various areas by MLC Security and Facilities staff. If persons need to take shelter indoors, MLC staff will assist in letting patrons know where the “safe areas” are in the building:

• 1st floor restrooms and classrooms
• CTL office area, Room 170
• 1st and 2nd floor elevator lobbies and hallways
• Mechanical hallway on 1E behind classroom 102
• Loading dock hallway

Re-Entry

No one shall re-enter the building until told to do so by UGA or County emergency personnel or the Facilities / Security staff in the building.
