• Lock your office door(s) and window(s).
• Close all sources of fresh air, such as fireplace dampers and do not use the elevator.
• Stay where you are.
• Keep low to the floor.
• Follow the instructions of the Emergency Building Coordinator.
• Do not use campus phones.
• Maintain this secure position until notified by campus officials that is it safe to move.
