Electrical/Light Failure

If hallway lights are out, locate exit stairs or doors and evacuate the building while emergency lights are on. Do not enter the building or use laboratories until power is restored. Emergency lighting should be considered temporary and will not support building operations. If you are in a laboratory equipped with a fume hood and/or biosafety cabinet, close all hoods and biosafety cabinet sashes.

Plumbing/Floor/Water Leak

If you discover leaking water or know the source of a water leak, contact Campus Facilities Services. Do not walk through standing water due to the potential for electrocution.

Natural Gas Leak

If you discover a natural gas leak, leave the area immediately and contact IUPUI Police at 911 from a campus phone or 317-274-7911 from a non-campus phone.
