In accordance with New York State Law, Monroe Community College must conduct unannounced fire drills each year. This is a requirement of section f405 of the uniform fire prevention and building code.
The purpose is to educate the college community on the proper method to exit the college buildings should an emergency arise. As fire drills are unannounced, please take the opportunity to discuss fire alarm procedures with others in your office and classroom.
Please remember that it takes a group effort to make a quick and safe evacuation of the building. Once everyone is out of the room, close all windows and doors. Shut off the lights, leave the building and get away from the buildings and exit the courtyards.
For further information regarding Brighton Campus evacuations, please refer to the following MCC Web site PowerPoint.

In addition to audible and visual alarms, spoken instructions are also given over the emergency address system, and by the Evacuation Assistants.
Elevators, the atrium escalators and atrium stairwell are not considered an emergency exit and should not be used. Each classroom should contain a map of the closest emergency exit.
Emergency Evacuation Assistants have been assigned to expedite instructions and the flow of people to each of the emergency exits. All personnel are expected to exit the building via the CLOSEST emergency exits and move away from the building to avoid overcrowding.
Staff and administration have the responsibility to become familiar with all emergency exits and in the event of an actual evacuation, they should assist in the process and ensure that the areas are evacuated and secured.
In the event of an emergency alarm, the faculty member should direct all students to the closest emergency exit and assist with leaving the facility. For persons with disabilities, the faculty member should ensure that the person is escorted to the nearest Emergency Assembly Area. This is usually located very close to each emergency exit.
The faculty member should stay with the student at the Emergency Assembly Area. If the emergency escalates, the disabled individuals can be moved into the landing of the emergency exit, using the fire door for protection. The individual can be evacuated at that point by emergency response personnel.
