New emergency response posters

A new poster explaining what to do in several emergency situations is being made available to campus building managers and soon will be posted in common and high traffic areas. It replaces the old “Tornado Procedure” posting, as well as the “Emergency Evacuation Procedure for Individuals Who Need Assistance.”

The poster was a joint effort among the UW Police and Safety departments, Space Management, and Facilities, Planning and Management. It includes emergency phone numbers, general principles on protection and making 911 calls, and information on how to respond in situations involving criminal acts, fire alarms or actual fires, natural disasters and inclement weather.

Questions about the poster can be directed to Jeff Schiller at 265-9080 or jschiller@fpm.wisc.edu.
