aid in the recovery process. In case of an emergency situation:
| " |
Follow emergency instructions from public
safety personnel. |
|
|
| " |
Know and follow departmental
emergency procedures unique to your facility |
|
|
| " |
Immediately report dangerous situations
occurring in or near your facility (such as fire, explosion, storm
damage, hazardous material spills, chemical odors, flooding, accidents,
injuries, criminal or suspicious activity, etc.) to the William
Paterson University, Public Safety Department at 973-720-2301. |

| " |
Post emergency numbers and procedural checklists
near your telephone. |

or other facility in the event that an evacuation becomes necessary.

Stay informed about developing emergency
conditions through the available University emergency communication
