weeks Housing will be doing our annual fall fire drills in our Residence Hall
System. These drills are conducted to test the system for accuracy
and to monitor how well residents follow the building evacuation
plans. Please remember that whenever the alarm sounds, every
resident is required to exit the building. Please see below the standards
that the City of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Cambridge Fire
Department</st1:place></st1:City> expects:</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

evacuation, residents must exit the building using the closest exit door to the
stairwell; usually they are within the stairwell. During an emergency
alarm, residents are allowed and encouraged to use the alarmed exit doors. `The
alarms are installed to ensure security but must be ignored during an
emergency. If the stair exit opens to a courtyard, exit the courtyard
immediately using the gate to the street. Courtyards are not considered safe
staging areas.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

each building on their success in quick and safe evacuation, please help us
show the city that MIT takes emergencies seriously! Thank You all for your
