Fire Alarm and Evacuation
In the event of a fire, all individuals in any building will be evacuated and directed to the nearest exit. At the sound of the fire alarm, you are expected to immediately leave your workstation and exit the library. Once outside, all OSF library staff and student assistants are to meet at the flagpole located in the center of the Lower Quad. In case of bad weather, meet in the first floor lounge area across from the Information Center in Murray Herrick Hall. Other library locations should see their supervisors for directions on handling a fire alarm and tornado warning.
