Evacuation Planning

An evacuation is the quick exit of occupants from a building. While evacuating, it is

everyone’s responsibility to make sure no one is left behind.



Identify Exit Routes

o Two for each floor

o Exits are clearly marked



Identify Assembly Areas

o Outside the affected building in a safe and convenient location

o Alternate assembly areas - the emergency may dictate changes in the

assembly areas

Shelter-in-Place Planning

There may be emergencies that arise that do not give individuals the opportunity to

safely evacuate. For these emergencies, sheltering-in-place may be necessary.

Examples of emergencies where the shelter-in-place option may be preferred

include:



Severe weather



Active shooter/active threat situations



Outside hazardous materials release
