1. The following procedures apply in the event evacuation of the campus is necessary:

(a) The campus community will be notified to evacuate by general announcements via email, voice mail, campus police public address systems, and announcements by department heads and residential staff.

(b) Campus authorities will give directions as to evacuation routes.

(c) Students, faculty, and staff must leave campus immediately taking ID, shoes, coat and any prescription medications. Students should not take time to pack extra clothing or belongings.

(d) Each car leaving campus should be full. Students, faculty, and staff who own cars are encouraged to take students, coworkers, neighbors and acquaintances with them. Drivers are discouraged from taking time to locate particular friends or individuals. The goal is to leave campus, taking as many immediately available people as possible.

(e) Students, faculty, and staff needing a ride are directed to the corner of Glasgow and Main Streets.

(f) Campus authorities will report to the corner of Glasgow and Main Street to match those needing rides with cars having space.

(g) Residence Life Office professional staff will "sweep" residential building to insure that everyone has evacuated. Upon leaving a building, they will pull the fire alarm as one final notification to evacuate should anyone have remained in the building and been overlooked.

(h) Campus Police will "sweep" other buildings to insure everyone has evacuated. Upon leaving the building, they will pull the fire alarm as one final notification to evacuate should anyone have remained in the building and been overlooked.

2. Communication will be maintained during the evacuation period.

(a) Telephone will be rolled over to one line with a prerecorded announcement that the campus has been evacuated to reception areas in Troutman.

(b) A college Web site and a recorded telephone message will be updated with an evacuation announcement and information as frequently as possible.

3. In the case of a nuclear incident, the following special procedures apply.

(a) The initial notification of a nuclear facility incident will be communicated to the public by the activation of the McGuire Siren System (continuous tone audible on campus). The siren alert is an indication to listen to Emergency Broadcasts on radio and television, especially radio station WLNK 107.9 and WFMX 105.7.

(b) In the event of an evacuation order, the Davidson evacuation route is north on Interstate Route #77 to Exit # 45. From that point, State and local police will direct traffic. Checkpoints and reception areas will be set up at Troutman Middle School, Troutman Elementary School and South Iredell High School. Food, water and emergency medical care will be provided. Decontamination facilities will be available at these sites. Further evacuation information and directions will be provided.

(c) The Campus Police will notify the campus community by broadcast email when tests of the McGuire Siren System are planned so that community members may become familiar with the siren sound.
