Preparation

Being prepared and staying calm are critical in any emergency. Panic can be the greatest hazard. Northwest Christian University's Emergency Response Plan depends on the cooperation of the entire campus community for its effectiveness. Stay calm and follow emergency procedures designated in your building, for your department, and across campus. Adhering to the plan will save lives and minimize damage.

Your first responsibility is to determine the closest escape route from your residence or work location. Escape routes are posted in building hallways. The campus has implemented an Emergency Response Plan and designates and trains building incident response coordinators on evacuation plans and procedures. The coordinators assist in the orderly evacuation of all individuals from structures if such action is warranted.

First-Aid Kits, including CPR guards, are mounted in public areas throughout campus. An AED is located in the east end of the Morse Event Center lobby next to the elevator.
