Fire Drills/Alarms and Emergency Evacuation

Fire drills are scheduled periodically in Kenyon College residences in compliance with state regulations. Every time the fire alarm sounds it must be treated as a real fire and you must evacuate immediately. All persons must vacate the residence any time the fire alarm is sounded or if an emergency situation arises that requires the evacuation of the building. All individuals in the building must follow the directions of the staff and other emergency personnel and may not re-enter the building until they are cleared by emergency personnel. College, state or city officials may enter rooms to verify the evacuation of residents. 

Failure to successfully evacuate the building during a fire drill or emergency could result in a violation of the student code of conduct and could cause action from the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
