General Civil Protection Information

UAM-C has two types of alarms: earthquake and fire. We are in a safe building. In the event of any alarm sounding, stay calm.

Identify the signage in the building.

  • Safety zone (lower-risk area).
  • Evacuation route arrows (indicate the shortest and safest exit route).
  • Assembly point (safest external site in the area).

Brigade members will inform you whether it is an earthquake or fire alert. They are identified by an ID badge.

  • In case of an earthquake, you must locate lower-risk areas to take shelter until the seismic motion stops (sample sign attached). Once the earthquake ends, facility evacuation will begin.
  • In case of a fire, you must evacuate the facilities immediately, following the evacuation route signs.
  • During evacuation, do not use elevators or glass hallways, and on the 4th floor, stay away from areas under the glass dome.

The only assembly point within the campus is at the front in the sports courts area.

Fire Brigade
  • Minimize damage and loss in facilities resulting from a fire threat, intervening with safety equipment available on campus and/or area.

  • Provide statements to media outlets if the severity of the incident warrants it.
  • Maintain bomb threat reporting protocols and forms in case of an incident.
