style='font-size:12.0pt'> In the next few 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:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>1) The city expects all residents to evacuate the
building within 5 minutes. The high-rises with 10 or more floors should be evacuated
within 7 minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

law. All residents must use the stairs.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>3) During the emergency 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. Never go
through the building to exit the main front door. 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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

building specific staging area. <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>(<font
color=navy><span style='color:navy'>Exiting from the front, meet outside of
Westgate lobby, Exiting from the back, walk over to the front of Westgate</span></font>)</span></b>
This area must be away from the building to ensure the residents are safe from
the smoke and fire as well as the Fire Department and MIT emergency response
personnel are allowed easy access to the building. Never block the entrance or
main sidewalk.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>5) No one is allowed to re-enter the building until
the Fire Department or MIT representative gives the all clear. City officials
will work with MIT staff to return the building to a safe environment as soon
as possible and signal your return. The City Fire Department grades 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 help. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
