The Community Service and Environmental Development Sector at the Faculty of Dentistry, Ain Shams University, conducted a successful evacuation experiment in the main building.

The experiment was held under the auspices of Prof. Mohamed Diaa Zain El Abedeen, President of Ain Shams University; Prof. Ghada Farouk, Vice President for Community Service and Environmental Development; Prof. Karim El Batouty, Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry; and under the supervision of Prof. Walaa Hamed, Vice Dean for Community Service and Environmental Development. It was conducted in cooperation with the Occupational Safety and Health Department of the University President's Sector and under the supervision of the University's Civil Defense Department and University Security, in addition to members of the Faculty's Civil Defense and Security units.

The evacuation process took a full six minutes, beginning with the sounding of the alarm, which called on everyone to move quickly and in an orderly manner outside the building. Students, faculty staff, employees, and workers headed to the pre-determined safe assembly points, taking care not to crowd and to follow safety instructions.

The building was confirmed to be completely empty and the doors locked. An ambulance was on standby, and the entire operation was monitored to ensure its smooth progress and the absence of any obstacles.

This experiment aimed to train personnel to adhere to all safety and security standards in emergency situations such as earthquakes and fires, enhance the efficiency of the faculty's Civil Defense Department in handling any potential emergency, and ensure the safety of the university community and provide a healthy and safe environment for everyone.
