3. Crises and after-care
In a crisis situation the internal information and handling shall pro-
ceed as follows. The person responsible for the unit (e.g. dean, person
responsible for a subject, director) shall contact the Head of Security,
who then contacts the members of the Management Group. The Com-
munications Manager acts as the substitute for the Head of Security.
The after-care, so-called debriefing, is important in crisis situa-
tions. If you feel like talking to someone either alone or in a group, you
should contact the Personnel Manager of ÅA, the occupational health
service of ÅA Terveystalo, Student Health Care Services or health
care services of the City of Åbo to get professional help. Moreover, the
Student Priest and the parishes can offer helpful discussions. Contact
details can be found e.g. at ÅA’s website or internal telephone directory.

4. Fire
The following buildings have automatic fire alarms connected to the
emergency telephone: Arken, ASA Building, Axelia, BioCity, Boktor-
net (AÅB) Library, Domvillan, Gadolinia, Geologicum, Gripen, Hu-
manisticum, ICT Building, Kosmorama, Sibelius Museum, Theology
Annex, and Tryckerihuset.
In case of fire the general emergency number 112 shall ALWAYS
be dialled, whether or not there is an automatic alarm. When a fire
alarm is sounded, you must ALWAYS get out of the building via
normal exits or through emergency exits if necessary, and go to the
assembly point (see the notices in the buildings).
If you notice a fire, and the building has no alarm bells, warn the
others and see to it that the building is evacuated.
If possible, take your wallet/handbag and jacket with you and close
the windows and doors but do not lock them. If the doors are locked,
it is more difficult for the firemen to check that everybody has left the
building.
The persons who are in danger shall be saved before giving the alarm.
After giving the alarm you should try to put out and restrict the fire
if it can be done without risk of injuries to persons.
