In the event of an emergency, it may become necessary to evacuate the office building. All Floor Response Team personnel as well as general personnel should be completely familiar with the following evacuation procedures.
- In an emergency situation, wait until management or designated Floor Response Team personnel indicate that it is safe and appropriate to evacuate the building.
- If you are directed to evacuate, closely follow the instructions of all Floor Response Team personnel including Emergency Coordinators, Searchers and Emergency Personnel (i.e. Building Management, Security, or Orlando Fire Department).
- Do not exit via the elevators.
- Exit via stairwells only after an Emergency Coordinator has deemed it safe to do so.
- Familiarize yourself with the location of all stairwell exits; in the event a stairwell is blocked, proceed to an alternate stairwell.
- Stairwell A exits the Building through the lobby at Orange Avenue.
- Stairwell B exits the Building through the basement into the Loading Dock area.
- Use safe stairwell exit procedures including:
- Remain calm and quiet
- Remove high heeled shoes
- Exit in a single file and keep to the right using hand rails
- Move quickly, but do not run
- Assist those who may have trouble on the stairs or who have been injured
- Treat injuries on stairwell landings only and only when safe to do so
