What should I do if the utility failure causes or has the potential to cause serious danger to persons or property?
- NOTIFY University Police
- EVACUATE the building
What should I do if the building's power is turned off and the building is not equipped with a generator or emergency lighting?
- When the electricity is turned off in a building, smoke detectors and fire alert systems no longer function. Those buildings with generators are equipped to have egress lighting and should be evacuated.
- Wait for instructions of what to do from University Police
What should I do if I smell propane or natural gas?
- LEAVE the area immediately

If the utility failure is widespread University Police or other University administrators may order the building or area evacuated until the problem has been corrected.
