Fire and Evacuation Procedure
Throughout the buildings, there is a speaker-based alarm system which will activate automatically in the case of an emergency, such as a fire. As well as a periodic tone indicating an alarm, verbal instructions to evacuate will be broadcast over the speakers in both Danish and English. There are “fire alarm” buttons situated around the buildings for activating an alarm (see overview images for their locations).
In case of an emergency
- Stop the incident if you can without putting yourself at risk
If the incident requires immediate evacuation
- Activate a fire alarm closest to the location of the emergency situation and call 1 1 2 See the instructions for calling the emergency services.
Without putting yourself in danger
- Inform and help others to evacuate the building
- Use the nearest safe escape route, following escape route signs.
- In case of an emergency, do NOT use the elevators.
- The assembly point for everyone evacuating the Physics buildings is the large car park between the Physics and Chemistry departments (close to buildings 1525 and 1522)- See the images below
- Ensure that an AU employee calls Aarhus University’s emergency phone number: 8715 1617
Remain at the assembly point until you are instructed that you may leave or re-enter the buildings.
