A building should be evacuated when an alarm sounds continuously and/or upon notification by safety and security or the building coordinator.
Be aware of all marked exits from your area and building. Know the routes out of the building.
If necessary or directed to do so, activate the building alarms. Caution: Some building alarms ring only in the building – you may need to notify safety and security or other outside agencies by phone.
When evacuating a building walk quickly to the nearest exit.
Assist those with special needs (i.e. handicapped) in exiting the building.
Once outside move to a safe location away from the building. DO NOT REENTER THE BUILDING.
Keep roads and sidewalks clear for emergency personnel.
Assist the emergency responders only if asked to do so or if you have important information to report.
Notify the building coordinator or safety and security of any persons believed to still be in the building.
