Process
Before class begins
Take these steps before class begins to know what you can do in the case of an emergency:
- Determine what emergency information you will include on your class syllabus such as evacuation routes, assembly location (see below), or resource lists.
- Sign up for UOAlert and/or confirm your existing registered number via DuckWeb.
- Consider classroom evacuation.
- Visit your classrooms to check the building evacuation maps (posted in most hallways) for routes and building assembly area
- Know at least two evacuation routes from each of your classrooms
- Pick a specific assembly area, near the building’s designated area, for each class
- Print hardcopies of the class rosters and keep with your class materials so that you will know if all students are present after an evacuation.
- Point out and review the Emergency Procedures Posters that are posted in all general pool classrooms. If your classroom is missing a poster, please contact Emergency Management
