EMERGENCY FIRE EVACUATION

Important fire safety information and fire evacuation procedures are provided to all students at the beginning of each semester. Since the type of fire alarm system and the procedures that must be followed vary slightly for each University building, students are required to familiarize themselves with the evacuation procedures for each building that they have classes in or occupy. All building occupants are responsible for becoming familiar with and adhering to the emergency evacuation procedures and for evacuating the building when an alarm is sounded. Follow the instruction of University police and security or local emergency officials.

General Procedures

When the alarm sounds in 120 Tremont St:

• Follow the instructions of the communication message if given in the building.
• Evacuate the building immediately if there is no communication message.
• Use the closest available exit stairwell to evacuate the building.
• Do NOT use elevators.
• When exiting the building, use sidewalks and walk away from the building to allow for access by the Boston Fire Department and emergency personnel.
• Go to the designated assembly area located on the corner of the Boston Common opposite the Park St. Church.  Information on assembly areas for other Suffolk buildings can be found at http://www.suffolk.edu/campuslife/30868.html  
• Do NOT reenter the building until the “all clear” has been given by the Boston Fire Department or emergency personnel.
