Before reading further, please note that in a non-fire emergency, Property Management will NOT initiate a building evacuation unless directed to do so by emergency personnel or authorities.  In many instances, it may be safer to stay in the building than to leave.  Should a non-fire emergency occur, please consult with your floor warden, supervisor or office manager regarding your company’s response plan.  In the event that the non-fire related emergency is not isolated to this building, Property Management encourages you to stay tuned to local news for updates and directives from the authorities and to follow directives issued by the authorities.
