Are you prepared for an emergency?

Do you know what to do if an emergency arises at Dawson College, either at the main campus or at the Montreal Forum?

It’s time for all employees and students to ensure you are familiar with the College’s emergency procedures.

What you need to know:

1. For any emergency on campus, including medical, call Campus Security by dialing 1000 on any college phone, including emergency phones (check evacuation plan posted in College corridors for phone locations). If calling from your mobile phone, call 514-931-8731 and dial 1000 as soon as your call is answered.
   1. The College requests that you first contact Campus Security who will ensure 911 is called if required and be able to guide them in the College. Calling 911 directly can cause response delays.
2. Learn where the nearest exits are to your classrooms and offices.
3. During an evacuation, follow the instructions of College evacuation team and monitors (wearing fluorescent vests).
4. Dawson’s meeting point in the case of evacuation is Alexis-Nihon Mall or if unsafe, meet at the Hall Building of Concordia University (1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd. West).
