Evacuation drill
The performance of the local emergency response team
organization and all the measures taken require regular
testing. This is why there is an evacuation drill in every
Wageningen UR building at least once a year. So there is
a good chance that you will experience one of them.

with Emergency instructions next to the door of the
lecture room). The number given is the reception desk
number. The receptionist will then contact the relevant
authorities
• Stay with any victim and await the arrival of the
emergency response team member. Put your own safety
first and try to ensure that the situation does not get
any worse
• Otherwise follow the instructions of the emergency
response team members
What to do in case of fire?
