Evacuation\/Emergency Plan<\/strong><\/h4>\nEvery unit\/department should establish evacuation\/emergency plans.<\/p>\n
\n- Know your primary and secondary evacuation locations.<\/li>\n
- Take responsibility for any students or guests that may be in your presence or in your classroom.<\/li>\n
- Identify your building\u2019s \u201carea of refuge\u201d location. Let your building liaison know if anyone in your area is permanently or temporarily disabled in such a way that they may need assistance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Anyone with mobility issues is to be guided to the nearest \u201carea of refuge\u201d location: This is normally a stairwell landing. They should stay against the far side of the landing and wait for help to arrive. This will allow for others to continue the evacuation. Safety Team designees need to be informed of anyone with mobility issues and to which stairwell they were directed. If anyone is unaccounted for, designee(s) should report that information to the authorities.<\/p>\n
