Emergencies can affect anyone at the University at any time, and can take many forms. Everyone should be always prepared!
Preparedness
According to UN,
Emergency preparedness aims to ensure that the strategic direction and required building blocks for an eventual response are in place. Experience has shown that starting the delivery of emergency aid, especially at scale, takes significant lead time. By undertaking preparedness measures, operations front load preparatory actions before a crisis occurs. Preparedness includes: a context analysis, planning, gap identification, partnership development and coordination, and perhaps resource pre-positioning. Good emergency preparedness lays the foundation of an emergency response.

In a Classroom, Residence Hall or Office
STAY THERE. If you are in a safe place, stay put.
Secure the door. If the door has no lock and the door opens in, use heavy furniture to
barricade the door.
Cover windows.
Stay low. If you can’t exit through the windows, get out of sight from the door and stay
low and quiet.
Silence cell phones and other electronic devices.
If no police units are on scene, run away from the shooter. Find safe cover and wait
for the police to arrive.
When officers arrive on scene, move toward any law enforcement personnel or a
police vehicle when it’s safe. Keep your hands visible to police at all times.
In Hallways or Corridors
Get to a nearby room and secure it. Unless you are close to an exit, do not attempt to
run through a hallway, you may encounter the shooter.
In Large Rooms or Auditoriums
If remote from the shooter, exit the building and move toward any law enforcement
personnel or a police vehicle. Keep your hands visible to police.
Open Spaces
Stay alert and look for cover, such as brick walls, large trees, retaining walls, parked
vehicles or any other object that may stop gunfire rounds.
Trapped with the Shooter
Do not provoke the shooter. If no shooting is happening, do what the shooter says and do not move suddenly.
If the shooter starts shooting, try taking one of these decisive actions:
o Freeze and stay very still
o Run for an exit while zigzagging. A moving target is harder to hit than a
stationary one
o Attack the shooter. This is very dangerous, but it may be less dangerous than
doing nothing at all. The last thing the shooter will expect is to be attacked by an
unarmed person.

If There is a Fire or Power Outage
Never try to use an elevator if a fire alarm is sounding.
Most elevators will automatically go to a designated floor and stop working.
Elevators are likely to be out of service in the event of a power failure.
Emergency lighting will come on inside an elevator if there is a power failure.
If Trapped in an Elevator
Do not panic. There is plenty of air in the elevator. Don’t try open closed doors to
attempt to climb out.
Call for help. The elevator will have an emergency “phone” panel. Inside will be either
a phone or a button which will automatically call for help.
If the emergency phone does not work, contact USM by cell phone at +7 (7172) 70-6262.
Push the “bell” or “alarm” button to alert people outside that there is a problem.
If Others are Trapped in an Elevator
Call +7 (7172) 70-6262
Reassure the people who are trapped that help is on the way.
If an Elevator has Stopped Working (no passengers)
Notify the Building Coordinator or call Facilities Services at +7 (7172) 70-6262.
Report the location and status.
