Info-->ADT Emergency Response:

This information is also posted in B232!

Given that ADT will stop calling people on this list once they have reached a live person, Physics must define its own protocol for dealing with such an emergency.  ADT assumes no responsibility for  responding to the event once we are informed.
  • Don't panic.
  • Grab some paper and a writing utensil.
  • Make note of the time ADT was alerted to the system.
  • If you can access a computer with a network connection, head to the PACS website and look for the temperature monitoring system under the ``Info'' section.
  • <>If you cannot access a computer and/or you are too far away from the department to start to drive in, contact people in the following order: Richard Coffey, David Boulware, William Somsky, Alan Jedlow, Jennifer Raines, and Jason Alferness.
  • <>If the temperature seems to be rising very rapidly or is over 78 degrees, start a full system shutdown. If you are unsure, consider calling one of the people listed above.
  • <>
  • Contact FOMS (Facility Operation Maintenance Specialists - 685-1411) on campus and alert them to a possible overheat in the Physics server room. Stess that response is time critical.  You'll need to give them the following information: Building name, room where there's a problem, your contact information, and a description of the problem.  Inform FOMS that documentation on the Chilled Water System can be found on the chilled water monitoring station in the northwest corner of the PAB B005 Mechanical Room in a Red Binder.
  • If you are the closest person to the building, start driving.
  • Once you have arrived at the building and assessed the situation, please contact Richard Coffey or David Boulware and apprise them of the situation.

Keep in mind that you are the point person for this emergency. Be sure to follow up with the onsite engineers who come from FOMS. Contact ADT if you need to put the alarm system into ``test'' mode. Putting the system into test mode tells ADT not to worry about the alarm tripping in the near future while the server room is adjusted.
