Flooding
In case of imminent or actual flooding:
Flooding can occur due to major rainstorms, water main breaks, or loss of power to sump pumps.
If you can do so safely:
• Secure vital equipment, records, and hazardous materials by moving to higher, safer ground.
• Shut off all non-essential electrical equipment.
• Wait for instructions from Security, Safety & Risk Management or Facilities Services
Move all personnel to a safe area, away from the building in danger.
Locate those persons with special needs, and provide assistance if possible. Otherwise, provide their location to emergency responders.
Do not return to the building until instructed to do so by Security, Safety & Risk Management or Facilities Services.
Call Environmental Health & Safety for assistance with flood clean-up.
