Emergency Safety Plan

This page is designed to inform the St. Lawrence community about emergency preparedness-- what to do in advance of, during, and after a major emergency.

In the event of an emergency, Current or past Campus Alerts will provide timely information for students, parents, faculty, staff, and other members of the University family. It will be updated regularly as new information becomes available.

If you experience an emergency yourself, call ext. 5555 on campus or 911.

General Instructions
 If you hear a fire alarm, evacuate, meet at a central location and take accounting of fellow residents, classmates or co-workers. Remain outside until Safety and Security, local Fire Department staff or Police signal all-clear.

If you hear a siren on campus, stay inside, close and lock your door (if possible), close curtains, stay low and stay close to a wall until further notice from Safety and Security, local Fire Department staff  or Police.

Emergency Communications
If St. Lawrence University experiences a limited emergency related to weather, crime, accident or other cause, these guidelines direct our communication:

*Those directly involved with an emergency will receive personal, direct information as immediately as possible.

*The campus community is informed promptly and updated regularly through these methods, depending on the nature of the emergency:

*Email to campus email addresses   
         
*Posting on the University’s main Web page www.stlawu.edu, directed to the Emergency Alert web page for details.

If the emergency poses danger to the campus-wide community, we’ll activate these communications (and we hope never to have to use these):

*Posted on this Web site
*Sent through the campus email system
*Sent through broadcast text message to cell phones
*Sent through Reverse 911 to all departmental phones
*Sent through the campus voice mail system
*Posted in all academic and residential buildings
