Run/get out, hide, or fight.

An active assailant is an individual posing an immediate threat of death or grievous bodily harm to others. If faced with an active assailant on campus, your first and best option is to RUN or GET OUT. Assess your situation and take immediate action. More information. 

Treat all alarms as real.

Evacuate when you hear the fire alarm or when directed by Security Services or an Emergency Warden. You can prepare for an evacuation by knowing the location of your nearest primary and alternate exit routes and muster points, wherever you are on campus. More information. 

If you see fire or smell smoke, remain calm.

Pull the nearest manual fire alarm pull station if the alarm has not been activated. Evacuate immediately using the nearest safe exit. More information. 

If life threatening, call 911 immediately.

Then, if possible, ask someone else to call Security Services at 403.440.5900. Approach the injured person only if it is safe to do so. More information. 

When told to shelter in place, move indoors.
