DIRECT ANSWER

UT uses fire-safety procedures, drills and evacuation guidance; the Residence Hall Manual and Annual Security and Fire Safety Report are the controlling references.

UT's residence-hall safety page directs residents to the Residence Hall Manual for fire and life-safety checks, emergency preparedness and evacuation areas. Housing also runs security and fire-safety programming, including drills. The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report publishes institutional fire-safety information and statistics.
