Emergency Procedures

Your safety commands our full attention. We do not think any of these things will happen, but on the off chance they do, we offer the following guidelines:

Plan ahead

• Carry identifying information on you, such as a state ID or index card with your full name, an emergency contact phone number of someone who is not attending Ohayocon, and preferred Dayton-area hospital.
• Decide upon an emergency meet-up point off-premises with your attending family and friends.
• Remember any prescription medication and required medical devices.

If you see something, say something

• If you notice anything suspicious, please tell a member of our public safety team so they can investigate.

Weather emergencies

Ohayocon happens in the dead of winter, so we don’t really expect life-threatening weather emergencies which will cause immediate danger. But just in case:

• If Montgomery County declares a non-snow-related emergency (such as a tornado warning), we will try to open an unused interior room for you to congregate.
• Avoid areas with lots of windows. Suggested gathering places include any area away from exits and where there is not a glass ceiling.
• Use any posted emergency evacuation signage for guidance if you need to.

Fire

• If the fire alarm sounds, remain calm. Exit the building via the closest safe exit.
• Use the stairs if you are able, so firefighters and people with physical disabilities can use elevators.
• Events will resume once an appropriate authority figure clears the alarm.
