Annual Evacuation Drills
Evacuation drills help ensure that faculty, staff, and students know how to exit buildings on campus safely and as quickly as possible. Campus-wide evacuation drills are conducted annually.
Fall 2019 Evacuation Drills
Evacuation drills are scheduled to take place from Sept. 12, 2019 – Sept. 24, 2019. If you work, teach, or study in a building scheduled to be evacuated (see below), plan for a thirty minute disruption to your daily activities and know:
- your evacuation procedure
- the assembly point for your building
- instructors, assist your population in routing to the appropriate exit and assembly point.

2018 Annual Evacuation Drill Summary
2018 Annual Evacuation Drill Summary Report
Last year's annual evacuation drills were conducted at University of Calgary campuses over a period of ten days in September. The drills were facilitated by the Emergency Management team with assistance from observer volunteers from across campus including Risk, Human Resources, Finance, Information Technology, Residence Services, University Relations, Kinesiology, Facilities- LifeSafety, and Emergency Wardens.
Evacuations occurred at all fifty-three regularly occupied buildings on the university campuses. The Child Care Centers are drilled monthly and residence buildings are drilled twice a year.
This year there was a notable improvement in basic housekeeping. During evacuation drills there were less incidents of equipment obstructing egress. Clear paths were reported to the hose cabinets and fire extinguishers.
