ISU Public Safety aims to reduce the impact of emergencies and help the campus community respond and recover from them effectively. To aid in this, ISU buildings on the Pocatello and Idaho Falls campuses will practice fire evacuation drills from Tuesday, September 2 through Thursday, September 11. The evacuation schedule is available on our website. Some buildings without a fire alarm system may have a safety walkthrough of the spaces in lieu of a full evacuation. Please review the schedule for details.
Faculty, staff, and students on the Meridian campus will continue to participate in monthly fire drill evacuations according to the schedule established by the local school district.
We offer a variety of resources on our website to support you through this process. These include the ISU Emergency Action Plan, which serves as the primary guide for faculty, staff, and students during campus emergencies. Additionally, each building has a tailored evacuation plan detailing information specific to that location. Emergency plans are available on our website.
During the first week of school, we will provide faculty, staff, and students with the finalized evacuation schedule, how to locate the nearest Area of Assembly, and what to expect if they are in a building when it is being evacuated.
In addition, safety messages will be shared with the campus community throughout September in recognition of National Preparedness Month. Keeping our ISU campuses prepared for emergencies is a shared responsibility, and we're grateful for your support in ensuring our campuses are ready to handle any situation.
If you have questions about the process or your building’s time slot, please email emergencymanagement@isu.edu, or reach out to Jessy Sears at (208) 282-2426. We will review all requests received before Friday, August 22, make adjustments to the schedule as we are able, and post any changes.
Sincerely,
ISU Department of Public Safety
