Shelter In Place:

- Some emergencies may require you to take shelter in your office. If you are notified to shelter-in-place or you find you cannot exit because of greater dangers outside the building:
- Move to an interior room or building space away from as many windows as possible.
- Do not use elevators.
- Bring everyone into the room.
- If available, take a radio or television with you to monitor the news.
- Shut and lock all windows and doors.
- Make a list of who is there and call University Police to report who is in the room with you.
- Keep calm and review evacuation procedures with staff members.
- If available, check your CSUN email regularly for messages giving you further instructions.
- Stay where you are until otherwise notified to move. Wait for a Police Officer or further directions.
- Follow instructions of emergency personnel.
- Do not leave your room until notified to do so by emergency personnel.
- Important note regarding phones during any type of emergency:
- Overloading will likely bring down all telephone services, including cellular phones. Avoid using any telephone services except for life safety and emergency calls.
