In Case of Emergency
If a fire alarm is activated or Public Safety initiates an emergency evacuation of
your building:

• STAY CALM and DO NOT PANIC
• Proceed to the closest emergency exit. Do not take the elevator.
• Follow instructions of Public Safety Officers and Emergency Evacuation Volunteers (EEVs).
• Once outside the building, continue to follow the directions of Public Safety Officers who will direct you to an assembly area.
