Emergency Procedures
Southern Illinois University Carbondale is committed to
providing a safe and healthy environment for study and work. Because
some health and safety circumstances are beyond our control, we ask that
you become familiar with the SIUC Emergency Response Plan and Building
Emergency Response Team (BERT) program. Emergency response information
is available on posters in buildings on campus, available on the BERT
website at
www.bert.siu.edu, Department of Public
Safety’s website at
www.dps.siu.edu (disaster drop down) and
in Emergency Response Guidelines pamphlet. Know how to respond to each
type of emergency. Instructors will provide guidance and direction to
students in the classroom in the event of an emergency affecting your
location. It is important that you
follow these instructions and stay with your instructor during an
evacuation or sheltering emergency.
The Building Emergency Response Team will provide assistance to your
instructor in evacuating the building or sheltering within the facility.
