CONFERENCE SAFETY AND SECURITY

AWWA works closely with the Convention Center to provide a safe environment during the Utility Management Conference , but your help is also needed . AWWA recommends that you read the following safety guidelines :

• Be aware of your surroundings . Always keep an eye on your personal belongings and never leave them unattended . If someone near you is acting suspiciously or if you feel uncomfortable , leave the area immediately and notify AWWA or Convention Center staff .

• Know how to handle an emergency . Be aware of the nearest exits and know the emergency route at your hotel . Most are posted on the back of your guest room door ; review upon arrival and become familiar with where to go . Agree on a place to meet up with a colleague in the event of an evacuation .
