DO NOT TAKE THE ELEVATOR! • Assist injured or impaired persons if you are able. • Close doors behind you. • Stay low if you encounter smoke. • Refer to your Emergency Map for the nearest exit. • Respond to your Meeting Place. • Do not re-enter the building until the fire department has cleared the building for re-entry, even if the alarms have been silenced.
