   - Depending on the severity of the emergency (how imminent a danger is posed), you may be allowed back to your residence/office to gather your most valuable personal belongings before evacuating. This will be a judgment call by the Incident Commander in charge. If the danger is such that immediate evacuation is required and an order has been issued by the Incident Commander, you won’t be allowed to linger on the Observatory ground to retrieve personal belongings. Please understand that human life is more valuable than material possessions, so don’t put yourself or any IC crew member in danger by ignoring the instructions of the Incident Commander. As you exit the Observatory please do not stop or park in the lower parking lot of the Pavilion area as it is reserved for emergency vehicles and aircraft staged to fight a fire.   - Depending on the severity of the emergency (how imminent a danger is posed), you may be allowed back to your residence/office to gather your most valuable personal belongings before evacuating.

   - If the Incident Commander determines that Observatory personnel must be sheltered-in-place, you will be escorted to the 100” dome Coude Room, where provisions are in place for safely surviving a fire. Pets can be sheltered on the ground floor of the 100” dome outside the Coude Room. The Incident Commander and his crew will be the liaison between the Observatory personnel in the 100” Coude Room and the outside agencies responding to the emergency, and will keep you informed as to the status of emergency response efforts. Do not leave the 100” dome until an ALL CLEAR has been issued.   - If the Incident Commander determines that Observatory personnel must be sheltered-in-place, you will be escorted to the 100” dome Coude Room, where provisions are in place for safely surviving a fire.
