When the fire alarms sounds or you are instructed by emergency personnel / school authorities/ Building Emergency Safety Team (BEST) members, evacuate the building immediately.
Collect your personal items only if they do not delay your departure.
Close doors behind you to slow the spread of fire, smoke or poisonous gases.
Exit using the nearest stairwell and do NOT use the elevator. Stay to the right in the stairwell as emergency personnel may be coming upon your left.
Do NOT move unconscious or severely injured people unless their life is in immediate danger (smoke and flame is present). Notify emergency personnel of their location once outside.
Assist those with minor injuries or disabilities (visual or hearing impairment, guide dogs, mobility issues or cognitive impairments) to exit the building. Only provide the assistance they request as they know their own capabilities. Trained individuals only may use the evacuation chairs, if there is imminent danger.
If someone is unable to evacuate, escort them to the nearest evacuation stairwell and ensure the door to the rest of the building is closed. Advise emergency responders of their location.
Outside the building, report to the assembly area. Do not leave the assembly area until you have checked in with a BEST member or emergency personnel. Do NOT re-enter the building until advised that it is safe to do so by emergency personnel / school authorities / BEST members.
