The University of Missouri policy addresses emergency campus closures.  The Chancellor has the authority to temporarily suspend campus operations through a partial or full campus closure under unusual and emergency circumstances.  These circumstances include natural, mechanical or man-made incidents.  The Chancellor will determine if employees are to continue working or to leave the building.[1]

Exit corridors and stairs should be evacuated while emergency lights are on.

If someone is believed to be confined in an elevator, call Campus Police at 314-516-5155.
