- Think about your own safety and that of your co-workers first. If there is a fire, earthquake, or other dangerous or life-threatening situation, stay calm and follow the emergency evacuation plan for your area of LTS.
- If possible and it is safe to do so, quickly identify the source and nature of the danger to the collections, furniture, and/or equipment and the extent of the damage.
- If possible and it is safe to do so, take immediate steps to protect the material – such as moving or covering the threatened items or areas with plastic sheeting, if there is a water leak. Use the supplies provided in the black disaster trunk located next to the center pillar in Room 107E. Otherwise, do not handle damaged material, unless instructed by a member of the LTS Disaster Action Team or CUL Conservation.
- If the emergency occurs during normal business hours, notify your supervisor and/or department director. If the emergency occurs after hours or on a weekend, see step #7 below.
- Supervisors should, in turn, notify:
- Ronnie Clark (text him at 607-327-0282), and the
- Director of LTS (254-5290) and/or the AUL for Discovery, Assessment, and International Engagement (255-7026).
They, in turn, will notify others as instructed on p.4 of the OKU Disaster Response Plan. - Provide assistance to members of the LTS Disaster Action Team and Facilities staff, if and as directed.
