During days of Code Red Fire Danger (Catastrophic), the University will close affected campuses. During these days, Fedliving may be required to change programs, meal arrangements, and other services may be restricted.

Specific notices will go up in your residence and communications sent during these days regarding potential evacuation procedures. To minimise the risks during Catastrophic Fire Danger Days, we would encourage residents to return home if possible and return to residence after the catastrophic warning has been lifted.

If an alarm goes off in your building, ensure you take it seriously and evacuate immediately.

Call the Fedliving office during office hours, or after hours support on:

• (03) 5327 6333 (Ballarat)
• (03) 5122 6662 (Gippsland)
• (03) 5122 8555 (Berwick).

Emergency services dial triple zero, 000 for Fire, Police, Ambulance.

Procedures and instructions for evacuations are displayed within your residence. Please ensure you familiarise yourself with these instructions as you will be required to evacuate any time an alarm is activated.

Dry chemical, water fire extinguishers and fire blankets are available in all buildings and floors in residence, which are checked on a six-monthly basis. It is essential for the safety of all residents and staff that the fire equipment is treated with respect. Harsh penalties apply to those who abuse or misuse the equipment. If for any reason you suspect the equipment to be faulty or discharged, please contact Fedliving immediately.

The smoke and thermal detectors in units should not be tampered with or damaged. Damage to these is a real issue and a serious one for all residents.

If you live on the Mount Helen residence and require emergency services, when asked for ‘your location’, you will need to quote the emergency marker number. This will ensure the emergency services attend at the determined location. The emergency numbers are located on the ‘Local Emergency Instructions’ poster in your unit.
