If these supplies currently are stocked, their expiration dates should be checked. Accommodations for employees with limited mobility also should be addressed in the memo. Lighting All lights will go out except the emergency lighting system. This along with lighting from the windows should provide enough light to exit the building safely if necessary. At night, the emergency lighting system will allow safe exiting of the building.
Aisles are to be kept clear of obstacles to prevent tripping and falling.
Building emergency response team personnel on each floor should have flashlights available in case they are needed. Elevators Generally, buildings higher than 4 floors have at least one elevator powered by an emergency generator, so it would be available in a power outage. Elevators that are not on emergency power would typically stop where they are when the power goes out. In Sacramento, none of the parking structures has emergency power with the exception of the main State Garage, which has a temporary generator to power the gas pumps in case of a blackout. There are emergency exit lights to direct people to a pedestrian exit.
