KPC Safety Updates

Below are updates from the KPC Safety Coordinator, Leslie Byrd:

- We're in that season where it's starting to get slick outside. Please be cautious while entering the buildings if you are on campus. A complementary pair of ice cleats is available for anyone who needs them.
KBC - Please contact Reid Brewer (rsbrewer@alaska.edu - Pioneer 214)
KRC - Please contact Leslie Byrd (lmbyrd2@alaska.edu) or visit Student Services.

- Fire drills were conducted on October 26, 2023 at KBC and on Nov 4, 2023 at KRC. The drills tested and evaluated monitoring systems, ERT response times, device hardware functionality, how quickly students responded/evacuated, and how knowledgeable students were with the evacuation procedure. A federally required Cleary exercise drill was also conducted at KPC on October 13, 2023. All drills resulted in After Action Reports (AAR). 

- Campus Evacuation/Fire Drill Procedures
Only the College Director or designee may authorize the evacuation of the campus, except in the event of a fire alarm. The evacuation order will specify that all people are either to:
a) Leave the entire campus property, including the residence hall
b) Evacuate the academic and administrative buildings only
Exit the buildings and gather at the staging areas in the farthest parking lots at each end of the campus. The entrances and driveways must stay clear as emergency vehicles may arrive. The notice to evacuate will be facilitated by personal and mass notification. No one re-enters the buildings until directed to do so by the College Director or designee.
