Evacuation Procedures

Building Safety obligates each tenant to follow the approved Emergency Preparedness and Evacuation Plan.  All tenants must participate in the Emergency Plan and provide responsible personnel to assist the Management Office and Security with the execution. Nominated Tenant Representatives play a vital role in successfully executing the safety plans. During the Emergency Plan, the Tenant Representatives assist the Management Office and Security with identifying tenants with special needs, controlling the movement of tenant employees. 

All tenants must provide the Management Office with a list of Lead Floor Monitors, Floor Monitors and Alternates. A Floor Monitor shall be provided for each tenancy per floor.  When the floor area of a tenancy exceeds seven thousand five hundred (7,500) square feet of occupied space, a warden shall be assigned for each such seven thousand five hundred (7,500) square feet or part thereof.  Each floor shall have a minimum of two (2) Floor Monitors.

Floor Monitors will serve as the contact between Security and the tenant’s employees, educate all tenant employees on emergency procedures and plans, coordinate emergency response and serve as a building Floor Monitors.
