Evacuation Plan

Upon hearing a announcement begin evacuation procedures

• Keep yourself and others calm
• Quickly proceed outside the building (or to the announced “safe location”) using the posted evacuation route. Close windows and doors as you leave.
• Help those that need special assistance (e.g. if a deaf person is in a restroom, make sure they evacuate).
• Report immediately to the designated "safe area" located NE corner of SE 10th Avenue and Market. Check in with Action member who will be taking a head count.
• Wait for instructions from emergency response personnel. Do not re-enter the building until told it is safe to do so.
