POWER OUTAGE

 

PREPLAN:

Departments should have flashlights available that are tested periodically to assure that they work.  Flashlights can be obtained from Central Stores at ext. 3248.

 

In the event of a power outage in your building, initiate the following:

 

Remain Calm

 

Between the hours of   7:30am and 5pm call Facilities Maintenance at ext. 3232.   After 5pm, call YSU Police at ext. 3527.

 

If you have a flashlight, go to an area of the building that is lighted or has emergency lighting.

 

Provide assistance to those in your area who do not have a flashlight and/or may be unfamiliar with the area.

 

Remain calm.  In most instances power will be restored in a short matter of time. However, if you are instructed to evacuate the building, proceed cautiously to the nearest exit.

 

Note:  Individuals with disabilities may need assistance.

 

Exit signs are on emergency power and should remain lit during an outage.
