Do not rush outside. Inside may be safer. The area outside of a building poses the greatest danger of falling debris like window glass, facades, cornices, and veneers. The extreme danger zone extends at least several car lengths from the building. Danger from falling glass and debris may extend as far out as half the height of the building or more.
Severe weather can add to the dangers outside.
As the evacuation decision is being made, your Evacuation Coordinator may ask you to check halls and stairways near your area and to prepare for evacuation. Help any injured people or people trapped by fallen furnishings. Seriously injured people should be moved only if immediate danger requires it. Get ready to leave whether evacuating or not. Find your car keys, coat, glasses, medicines, and umbrella.
