October is Fire Prevention Month: Look out for campus-wide fire drills

In the coming weeks, fire drills will be conducted throughout the medical center by members of Facilities Fire Safety and EH&S Fire Safety. Please look out for postings in your building to find out when your drill will be. During the drills, listen for announcements on your floor to receive instructions. Drills will be conducted in the elevator lobby on each floor, and evacuation will not be necessary.

Please take this time to review safety procedures and policies found on the Facilities Fire Safety and Environmental Health and Safety websites. Please direct any general building-related questions or concerns to cumcfiresafety@columbia.edu and any lab-specific questions or concerns to fire-life@columbia.edu.
