Notice of Fall Fire Evacuation Drills


Welcome to the new semester! As part of our commitment to preparedness and campus safety, fire evacuation drills are conducted on each campus. The number of evacuation drills per year varies based on building occupancy. For example, our facility in Meridian practices evacuation drills each month in conjunction with Renaissance High School. Campus apartments and residence halls practice four times a year. All other buildings conduct an evacuation annually. 

Beginning Tuesday, September 2, Public Safety will begin conducting the annual evacuation drills for buildings located in Pocatello and ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµ Falls. Evacuations will continue throughout each day until Thursday, September 11. The evacuation schedule and instructions are available on our website

Please use the campus map to identify your building’s . This map is readily available on our website and can be accessed through the FREE Rave Guardian Safety App. Rave Guardian offers exceptional services and critical information that effectively protect our community. 

Here are some friendly reminders if you are teaching, working, or attending an event and hear the fire alarm:

  1. Remain calm and immediately go to the nearest exit.
  2. Assist students and visitors to the campus through the process by encouraging them to follow you to the exit.
  3. Avoid using elevators, even during fire drills. If you require assistance during the evacuation, wait at the nearest Area of Rescue or near a stairway for assistance from a public safety official.
  4. Follow all instructions provided by Public Safety or responding officials.
  5. Use the to locate the closest assembly point to your building.
  6. Wait at the assembly area for instructions, and do not re-enter the building until you are told to.

Faculty or staff who have special needs or concerns or may require assistance during an evacuation should call Disability Services at 208-282-3599. 

We deeply value your contribution to ensuring the safety of our campus community. As September is National Preparedness Month, we are committed to providing valuable safety information and resources to support our faculty and staff in preparing for emergencies or disasters.
