If you are in charge of others you may be asked to inform them of the evacuation instructions and to help guide them from the facility

 

Persons operating equipment that poses a hazard if left unattended should, if at all possible, shut down the equipment prior to evacuating

 

When evacuated you will be directed to a rally point or shelter

 

Persons at the rally point may be asked to identify themselves in case medical screening or decontamination becomes necessary

 

At the rally point you should attempt to account for co-workers, students, classmates, fellow residents, etc. and to inform emergency personnel if persons are missing or unaccounted for
