Most evacuations happen after activation of the fire alarm system. If you hear the fire alarm on your floor and you have not been advised that it is a test, follow these steps:

1. Close your office door behind you, but do not lock it.

2. Proceed to the nearest exit stairwell. There are two stairwells in the building; one on the east side and one on the west side of the elevator lobby.

3. Walk down 4 floors and enter that floor. During a partial building evacuation, the "Safe Refuge Area" is the building elevator lobby, located four floors down from the fire floor.

4. Wait in the elevator lobby until an announcement is made to return to your floor.

5. Follow your company's procedure for roll call, etc. before returning to your floor.
