2 Agenda The University Observation of another University s plan Our Emergency Plan Partners to the plan Outages

3 The University Location of CL 3 lab Within building Situation in Toronto Usage of lab Personnel Type of research Organizational structure

4 Inside Containment Level 3 Lab

5 Service Area

6 Window into Lab

7 Emergency Exits

8 Observation of Drill from another University Assumptions made on processes Police assumed control Most informed individuals isolated and not in the loop

9 An Incident in the News Home > News Smoke forces evacuation of BioSafety Level 3 lab BOSTON, MA A 10-story building in Boston which houses a biomedical research laboratory was evacuated after smoke activated the alarm system. An electrical problem at Boston University s Center for Advanced Biomedical Research biomedical research laboratory was the apparent cause of the smoke. Hundreds of scientists and other workers were evacuated from the building, which houses vials of the highly infectious bacteria Francisella tularensis bacterium. A hazardous materials team dressed in Level A protective clothing entered the building and shut off the electricity, causing the smoke to dissipate. No contamination was found and fire officials said the public was never in danger. Decontamination stations which had been set up in the street were not needed. Some local residents and environmentalists have expressed concern about the facility, which sits in a densely populated section of the city. Fire and BU officials, however, expressed confidence that safety precautions at the lab as well as preparedness by the hazmat team ensure the public s safety.
