What the alarms bells used to mean:

Fire Alarm--One continuous sound:
- Evacuate classroom
- Stay away from buildings
- Return to class only when instructed by fire or security personnel
Lockdown notification--5 short blasts:
- Stay in classroom, away from windows
- Turn out lights
- If not in classroom, enter nearest building
A long, 30-to-45-second blast will give the "all clear"
- Confusing alarm:
- Stay in classroom
- Call security at (206) 546-4633 or (206) 235-5860
