This manual has been prepared in cooperation with the Fire Department in an attempt to provide an outline of responsibilities and action to take in the event of an emergency.  However, not all emergency situations are covered in this manual.  In addition, each Tenant will be responsible for implementing their own emergency plan.  It is important that all key management personnel and employees are aware of the procedures in this manual.

As part of the overall safety and emergency preparedness program, we strongly recommend that all Tenants participate in life safety evacuation drills conducting by Property Management and the Fire Department.  It is important to appoint Fire Wardens to be responsible for planning and communication emergency procedures to each employee, and to oversee and evaluate everyone’s response to an emergency.  During an actual emergency, the Fire Wardens serve as liaison between Fire Department personnel and employees, and provide invaluable assistance should an evacuation be necessary.

Individuals selected as Wardens should be trained on evacuation procedures and should be available on a daily basis.

In cooperation with the local authorities, Property Management will coordinate scheduled Fire Warden training sessions on the procedures within this manual.
