In the event of a medical emergency, first call 911 and then call Occupational First Aid.

2) Emergency Meeting Locations

During an emergency evacuation such as a fire alarm, there are 4 emergency meeting locations for the Biological Sciences Building and both the Beaty Biodiversity Centre and Museum occupants:
these include:

2 - open area in between Biological Sciences, Michael Smith, and Food and Nutrition Building

During an emergency evacuation, please make sure you proceed to the NEAREST emergency meeting location and wait until the alarm has been turned off before re-entry.
