Emergency Information
In the event of an emergency, Schmitz Hall follows the procedures laid out by Environmental Health and Safety and UW Emergency Management.
Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan (FSEP)
Each building on campus has a Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan (FSEP) document with specific instructions for that building. Review the most recent FSEP for Schmitz Hall. Schmitz Hall units should keep a printed copy of the most recent FSEP in a conspicuous place, disseminate it widely when updates are published, and include it in employee onboarding materials.

Evacuation Wardens
Each unit within Schmitz Hall must designate at least one person to act as evacuation warden. Evacuation wardens help ensure people in their unit and area evacuate, direct people to the evacuation assembly point, prevent people from re-entering the building until the all-clear is given, and report any info about the nature of the emergency or people still known to be in the building to the evacuation director. Evacuation wardens must take a free, 30-minute Emergency Evacuation online training. It is recommended to have as many people as possible take the training to be an evacuation warden, as it helps ensure coverage for absences and hybrid work schedules.
Emergency Assembly Point (EAP) Location
During a building evacuation, all building occupants must congregate at the designated Evacuation Assembly Point (EAP). Schmitz Hall’s EAP is the gravel area in the median of NE Campus Parkway, directly South of the building. Be sure to utilize the crosswalks when going to or from the EAP. It is important to remain at the EAP, as that is the only location where EH&S and fire department personnel will give a verbal “all-clear” to re-occupy the building.
