In addition to the UPenn Alert and shelter-in-place drill (Almanac September 17, 2013), Public Safety and the Philadelphia Fire Department will hold the annual Fire Safety and Emergency Preparedness Day as a part of the national campaign for campus fire safety and emergency preparedness.
On Friday, September 27, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., personnel from the PFD, along with Penn’s Fire and Emergency Services, will be at intersections across campus distributing safety literature and answering questions.
A press conference will convene at noon on Hamilton Field, located east of 40th Street between Locust Walk and Walnut Street, featuring Philadelphia Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers and Maureen S. Rush, vice president for public safety at Penn.
In addition, the Philadelphia Fire Department’s Fire Safety Trailer, used to promote home fire safety awareness, will be at the park for tours by students, faculty, staff and visitors.
