INITIAL ASSEMBLY AREA

 

In the event of a full building evacuation, the property team will direct evacuees out of the building toward an initial assembly area. This procedure accomplishes two goals.

1) Helps provide a safe direction of travel that does not interfere with the emergency, emergency equipment, and responding emergency vehicles.

2) Helps prevent a backup of evacuees in the building’s lobby and stairwells.

The initial assembly area is located far enough away from the building to allow all occupants to evacuate out of the building and relocate to an assembly area away from the emergency. Once the initial assembly area is reached, tenants may move to the tenant designated meeting location and wait for instructions from the Floor Warden or Suite Monitor.
