Three Levels of Evacuation

Plan for three different degrees of evacuation from your facility:

• For a small fire or other “minor” emergency, be prepared to get everyone to a nearby rally point, such as in the parking lot or across the street.
• For a larger event, such as a large gas leak or police action, select an appropriate space a few blocks away.
• For a major disaster, be prepared to evacuate entirely out of your neighborhood.

Talk to your community partners about creating reciprocal agreements for evacuations. Figure out how you will transport your staff, guests and clients to your alternate locations.
