PrePlan:
Departments should have flashlights available that are tested periodically to assure that they work.
In the event of a power outage in your building, initiate the following:
- Remain Calm
- Between the hours of 7:30 A.M. and 5 P.M., call Facilities Maintenance at ext. 3232. After 5:00 P.M., 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.
