# Emergency Information

## In an emergency, call 911

Dial **911** for any fire, serious injury or other emergency. Do not wait to ask permission or to reach a board member first.

Give the dispatcher this address:

**Waukesha Makerspace**
**2111 S West Ave, Unit 58**
**Waukesha, WI 53189**

## Evacuate when in doubt

**Leave the building** for a fire, a chemical spill, or any other hazardous condition. Help others out if you can do so safely, and do not go back in for tools or projects.

<p class="callout warning">To be confirmed: the outdoor meeting point after an evacuation.</p>

## Exits

The building has a **front door** and a **rear door**. Emergency exits are pointed out during the New Member Orientation tour. Know the nearest exit to wherever you are working, and keep every exit and the path to it clear.

## Fire extinguishers

Extinguisher locations are also shown on the orientation tour. Never block one. For how to use an extinguisher and when not to, see **Shop Safety: Fire Safety and Hot Work**.

## First aid kit

The first aid kit is near the restroom. If you use supplies from it, report what you used so it can be restocked.

## AED

<p class="callout warning">To be confirmed: whether the space has an AED (automated external defibrillator), and where it is kept.</p>

## After an emergency

Once everyone is safe, report what happened, including injuries, near-misses and any extinguisher or first aid use. See **Shop Safety: Incident and Near-Miss Reporting**.

For severe weather, see **Shop Safety: Severe Weather and Tornado Shelter**.
