University City High-Rise Office Building Rallying Points

In 2007 the Managing Director’s Office of Emergency Management (MDO-OEM) began planning for evacuations in Philadelphia. This began with the designation of evacuation routes. Special evacuation plans were also developed for communities with particular needs, including University City, where there are a number of high-rise buildings, universities, medical facilities, and a major transportation hub.

Working in cooperation with numerous City and private organizations, evacuation rallying points were designated for high-rise office buildings in University City. The following maps identify these evacuation rallying points and the buildings assigned to each. Separate plans exist for University-owned buildings on the campuses of the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University, and the university plans were considered in the development of these rallying points.

Making the University City high-rise office building evacuation rallying points available to the public is part of the City of Philadelphia’s effort to engage, educate, and train our citizens on the importance of personal preparedness. Providing them with critical information before an emergency happens will allow the public to make the best decisions for themselves and their families when an emergency occurs.

Below, you can download maps that provide information for specific building assignments.
