A number of GI employees are located in the Akasofu/IARC building. The Akasofu/IARC Emergency Action Plans are included here for their convenience.

This year marks the first Golden Days parade that will feature large-scale, unified University of Alaska Fairbanks participation. Though many university-affiliated groups have a long tradition of walking, riding, and dancing the approximate 2.7-mile-long parade route independently, all units will join forces from here on out. 

Emergency action plans are presented here for your perusal. Please read the plan that is appropriate for your building BEFORE an emergency situation comes into play. The life you save could be your own, a total stranger's, a co-worker's or a firefighter's.

Please take a few minutes to read the Emergency Action Plan, listed below, pertaining to your building.
