What are evacuation assembly maps?
Evacuation assembly maps are designed to show building occupants the safest location(s) to go to following a building evacuation.
An assembly area shows where safety officials and building occupants gather after a building evacuation.
It is highly recommended that you familiarize yourself with the assembly areas assigned to the buildings you frequent.
Why are there two maps?
Primary Evacuation Assembly Map locations indicate where building occupants should assemble during a planned evacuation (drill) or unplanned evacuation of the building. These locations are designed to be far enough from the building for safety, without causing undue inconvenience to building occupants with the hope of re-entering the building.
Secondary Evacuation Assembly Map locations are the areas where building occupants may be directed to go if a) Primary locations are inaccessible or unsafe; b) More distance is needed from the building for safety; and/or c) An extended assembly time is needed to account for building occupants and ensure everyone is safe.
You will be directed to head to the Secondary locations by your Building Emergency Response Coordinator (BERC), a university official, or a first responder.
However, you should always use your own judgement: the most important thing is that you are a safe distance away from a hazard inside a building or along an evacuation route. If you are not able to head to designated areas, please prioritize your own safety above anything else.
How do I read the maps?
Each building is labeled with a number that matches an assembly area (black circles with white numbers). That assembly area indicates the area to which that building will evacuate to in the event of an emergency. If a building has more than one assembly area, evacuate to the closest one.
If your primary assembly zones are unavailable or inaccessible, proceed to the designated secondary assembly areas.
There are also drop-down menus describing each building's evacuation assembly areas in text beneath each map.
IN AN EMERGENCY:
Find the building you are in on the map below.
Evacuate to the assembly area that matches the number in the building's outline.
Follow directions from authorities.
If you have more questions regarding evacuation maps or the BERC program, please contact the Office of Emergency Services at oes@sfsu.edu.
