Procedures in the Event of a Nuclear Accident
EvCC is located within the perimeter of an area that will be affected by a nuclear accident at Naval Station Everett. It is highly likely that a nuclear accident would make the following steps superfluous, but there are no other known alternatives at this time.
Imminent Alert (Red) - Take Cover
-
Alert staff and students with short staccato buzzes on fire alarm system or hand alarm.
-
Everyone is to seek shelter in interior hallways.
-
Students and staff are to crouch on the floor with knees drawn up to read, back of neck covered with arms, eyes closed until alert is over.
-
If there is time, have faculty and staff close shades and blinds in classrooms and offices.
-
Remain until “All Clear” signal is sounded or notified of an “All Clear” by Campus Security.
Dispersal Alert (Yellow) - Building Evacuation
-
Alert staff and students with a series of two distinct alternating short and long rings on fire alarm system or hand alarm.
