Building Evacuation

If the fire alarm activates and you are in the building, follow all evacuation procedures and instructions from your Building Emergency Response Coordinator (BERC).

Building evacuation steps

1. Stop all work immediately
2. Take only essential items with you – do NOT stop and pack your belongings
3. Securely close doors once the last person leaves the room
4. Use the nearest door or accessible stairway to get to the appropriate floor that leads to the building’s exit -> Do NOT use elevators
5. Unless otherwise instructed, move AWAY from the building to a distance of at least 100ft
6. Head to your building’s evacuation assembly location and check in with your supervisor
7. Watch for falling debris
8. Keep roadways and drive paths clear for emergency responders and vehicles  

Do NOT repopulate building until authorized personnel advise the location is safe. Everyone must evacuate the building. No exceptions!
