Building Evacuations
Building evacuations plans are designed to assist Northwestern building occupants with safely evacuating the building in the event of a fire, explosion, spill, or other emergency. If employees and students are familiar with evacuation procedures, then threats to safety and health will be minimized in the event of an emergency.
