### Emergency Preparedness Week: Spotlight on Evacuation

During Emergency Preparedness Week, which runs from September 9 to 13, the Austin Community College District is providing essential information to enhance campus safety. One of the five key actions being emphasized this week is **Action #4: Evacuate**.

The Evacuate directive is designed to instruct individuals to leave an area safely and efficiently, whether moving within a building or exiting to safe locations outside. This action is particularly crucial in situations such as fires, chemical spills, or other emergencies that require immediate attention.

For more detailed information on the remaining action steps and available training opportunities, visit the college's website at austincc.edu/emergencyweek.
