What: Emergency Exercise

When: Monday, August 13th between 10a.m. and 1p.m.

Where: Albin O. Kuhn Library

Details:

On Monday, August 13th the UMBC Police, Department of Environmental Safety and Health along with the Baltimore County Fire Department will be conducting an Emergency Exercise (fire rescue) at the Albin O. Kuhn library between the hours of 10a.m. and 1p.m. Please expect to see a heavy first responder and emergency vehicle presence in the area. The exercise will include a mandatory evacuation of the building. Library staff and patrons along with the pond side offices will be allowed back into the building as quickly as possible. Library patrons will be restricted to the RLC and the lobby area for the duration of the exercise. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but these exercises are critical in helping all of us prepare for critical incidents. The decision was made to conduct the drill during normal business hours to increase the life-like nature of the exercise and test our ability to evacuate the building in real time. Thank you.
