The evacuation must be orderly. Walk to exits. It is the department member's responsibility to direct students to the safest exit. Location of exits nearest to the department's location should be pointed out. Building elevators are not to be used for evacuation.
Elevators are for use of rescue workers, police, and fire fighters.
The building custodian brings the elevators to the first floor. Personnel could become trapped in them by nature of the emergency. Personnel are not to congregate in or around the building exits or doorways, once they are outside the building or emergency area. Personnel must be at least 100 feet away from the building to enable rescue or responding vehicles and personnel to get to the site of the emergency. The Public Safety Officer promptly informs building evacuees of the reason for the evacuation.
