Emergency Evacuation Procedures
Each building has two stairwells. In an evacuation, always use the nearest stairwell and descend to the ground floor.
Never use elevators during an emergency.
Close stairwell doors behind you; do not prop them open.
Be familiar with building layouts and exits to ensure safe evacuation.
If a Fire Occurs in Your Unit
Call 911 – provide your building, floor, unit number, and address.
Leave your unit immediately and close the door (unlocked) to slow the spread of smoke and heat.
Alert your neighbors on the same floor.
Use the nearest stairwell and exit calmly.
If There is Fire or Smoke Near Your Unit
Check the door before opening:
Place your hand flat on the door for 5 seconds.
If warm, do not open — fire may be in the corridor.
If the door is cool:
Open carefully and check for smoke.
If safe, alert neighbors and evacuate via the nearest stairwell.
If the corridor is unsafe:
Keep your door closed and seal cracks with wet towels.
If smoke enters, open a window slightly (if operable) and signal rescuers with a sheet or light-colored cloth.
If windows are sealed, cover your nose and mouth with a damp cloth and stay low to the floor.
