Building Evacuation
Know how to evacuate your floor in the event of an emergency.
Procedures for a building evacuation:
Most evacuations happen after activation of the fire alarm system. If you hear the fire alarm on your floor and you have not been advised that it is a test, follow these steps:
1. Proceed to the nearest exit stairwell. There are three stairwells in the building, one centrally located near the passenger elevator lobbies, one on the east side and one on the west side of the building. Take only necessary personal belongings (coat and purse).
2. Do not use elevators unless instructed to do so.
3. Keep to the right when moving down hallways and stairwells.
4. Exit the building and wait in your designated company meeting location for further instructions.
5. Follow your company’s protocol for roll call, etc., before returning to your floor.
