Power Outages

Know What To Do

In the event of an electrical failure or power outage,

• Most major campus buildings are equipped with emergency lighting that will provide enough illumination in corridors and stairs for safe exiting.
  
• Call the facilities department at 940-565-2751.
  
• Evacuate the building if the fire alarm sounds or if instructed by police department or other emergency services personnel.
• In laboratory buildings
  • Fume hoods will not operate during a power outage, so it is advisable that the labs should not be used until power and ventilation is  properly restored.
    
• It is advisable for each department to have flashlights and battery operated radios available.
