TRAIN DERAILMENT CHEMICAL SPILL

Because of the close proximity to the railroad tracks Hope College needs to be prepared to respond should a train carrying toxic chemicals derail. If there is a train derailment you will be notified on what to do next. Be prepared to:

• Stay upwind of the accident
• Prevent others from going outside to see what happened.
• Keep an eye on local news and the college website on what to do next.

• Prepare (if asked to do so) to evacuate the area nearest the RR tracks and proceed to the college rally area located between the A Schaap Science Center and VanZoeren Hall or if inclement weather inside these buildings. (See map below)
• Call 911 if you are trapped or need assistance in getting to the rally area.
