Campus-wide Building Evacuation Drill Aug. 9

A campus-wide building evacuation drill will be held at 9 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 9. The drill is in compliance with California State University Executive Order No. 1056, which requires each campus in the system to conduct a building evacuation drill at least once annually.

Timeline: On Aug. 9 at 9 a.m., a message will be sent via the emergency notification system (ENS) to start the evacuation drill. Multiple modalities may be utilized, including desktop alerts, digital signage, library PA, Cougar Central PA, and text messages. Your building's fire alarm may also activate. The drill is expected to last 20-30 minutes. Please evacuate the building, report to the nearest evacuation zone, and wait for the "all clear" before re-entering buildings.

Evacuation zones: The campus evacuation zones have changed! Please review the new assignments for your location.
