Action in the gathering area

Gathering area: The gathering area is in the park area of the university, in the corner of Kanslerinrinne and Kalevantien. When moving to the gathering area, it is important to be careful when crossing the road and primarily to use the pedestrian crossing.

When people have left the building and proceeded to the gathering area, the representative of the personnel begins to direct activities. Based on the situation at hand, it is necessary to consider whether it is safe to remain in the designated gathering area or if people should be directed elsewhere, for example into a pre-arranged interior area or to a property in the vicinity.

No-one may leave the gathering area without the permission of the person responsible for the gathering area. Activity in the gathering area is directed by the building's safety personnel. The safety personnel give information on the progress of the situation and notify when it is permitted to return into the property.

Factors to bear in mind in the gathering area:

Taking care of anyone who may be injured; the safety personnel are to be informed
looking after people with reduced mobility or otherwise poor physical condition
if one is aware of someone having remained inside, this is to be reported

Back-up gathering area
