Those who have a temporary disability (e.g. a broken leg) should also provide these offices with information about when the disability begins and ends.<\/p>\n<p>Student Access Services and Human Resource Services will work with individuals to determine the most effective and efficient emergency plan for them. Each semester, these offices will provide a log of individuals who might need assistance in an emergency (along with their regular schedules) to the Office of Campus Safety &amp; Emergency Management.<\/p>\n<p>When visitors to campus have disabilities that could affect their safety in an emergency, Campus Safety officers will ask about their needs and note where they will be on campus during their visit, as well as their anticipated time of departure.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to arrange a buddy system with friends or colleagues, who could serve as evacuation assistants. Without putting themselves at risk in an emergency, such assistants could help their friend out of a building, or provide rescue personnel with information about the person\u2019s location and needs.<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"#top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emergency Contacts Universal Emergency 911 Campus Safety (703) 284-1600, (703) 908-0793 Student Health Center (703) 284-1610 Weather and Emergency Information (703) 526-6888 Active Shooter Severe Weather Medical Emergencies Fire &nbsp; Bomb Threat Power Outage Disabilities &nbsp; Toxic Odors Building Evacuation Campus Evacuation Lockdown &nbsp; Shelter In Place Supervisor Responsibilities Emergency Guide Arlington Alert You may [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/student-life\/health-wellness\/campus-safety\/emergency-preparedness\/emergency-procedures\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":433,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/left-sidebarpage.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Emergency Procedures - Marymount University<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Emergency Contacts Universal Emergency 911 Campus Safety (703) 284-1600, (703) 908-0793 Student Health Center (703) 284-1610 Weather and Emergency .
