The Suffolk University Emergency Action Plan provides a system for protection of life and property in the event of a fire, explosion, or other emergency requiring building evacuation. Employees, tenants and users should become familiar with the contents of this plan and become aware of the procedures for an orderly evacuation in the event of an emergency.
An Emergency Action Plan (EAP) combined with occupant familiarity with a building minimizes threats to life and property. In addition, 527 CMR 10.13 and the Boston Fire Department require that University buildings have a written Emergency Action Plan. This plan applies to all emergencies where occupants may need to evacuate the building for personal safety.
This EAP is intended to communicate the policies and procedures for occupants to follow in an emergency situation. Under this plan the occupants will be informed of:
- How to report a fire and other emergencies
- What to do when an alarm sounds
- Evacuation procedures
- Emergency organization
- Life-Safety Systems
