Center Emergency Procedures
The Center has developed an evacuation plan to be followed in the event that an evacuation and relocation of children and staff becomes necessary. Events such as chemical spills, poisonous gases, fire, etc. could necessitate an evacuation.
If the Center and/or Campus West must be evacuated, Center Staff will move children to the Sports Arena on campus.
If the Buffalo State College campus must be evacuated, the children will be escorted to the Jellybean Junction Child Care Center on the grounds of the Buffalo Psychiatric Center, just south of the college campus.
If the event of any emergency, Campus University Police will have been contacted. Parents are asked to call the University Police at 878-6333 for any information related to the emergency.
As soon as children have been safely moved to one of these alternate locations, staff will begin contacting parents to inform them of the situation.
Emergency Closings
Information when the college is not in session due to snow or other emergency conditions can be obtained by calling 878-5000. This information can also be obtained by listening to the following radio stations(WBEN-AM; WGR-AM), and the following televisions stations: Channel 2,4, and 7.
Fire Drills
We evacuate the Center whenever the College Fire Alarms sounds. Parents must evacuate the building as well by the route dictated by their location. In such a case, PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THE CENTER. In addition, we have our own monthly fire drills mandated by the NYS Office of Children and Family Services.
