Assignment:

Protecting our employees is our number one priority. In an emergency evacuation in our facility, everyone must respond immediately and by our approved evacuation procedures.

These are specific steps to be followed before, during, and after an evacuation:

• Develop a comprehensive evacuation drill
• Plan and map evacuation routes and exits
• Employees must be familiar with the evacuation route and exits
• When the evacuation alarm and strobe lights are active, employees need to evacuate the building
• Employees shall proceed to designated evacuation areas.
• All employees must remain in evacuation areas and follow instructions from the supervisor, evacuation wardens, or emergency response personnel.
• Accountability is essential and most important to make sure we have every employee out of the building.
• Supervisors must communicate with facility stakeholders (security, fire department, police, etc.) (Johnson, 2017)

1. Describe any existing event protocols or procedures that you will need to consider. If these exist, how might they impact your plan? If they do not, does an event protocol need to be created?

2. Describe who might need to be contacted and why they might need to be contacted for this event. Law enforcement? Local government? Additional security? Other potentially impacted individuals? Who might need to know that this event is happening? Why would they benefit from knowing? What could potentially happen if they were not notified?

3. Describe the concerns of the organization. Do they have some key concerns or vulnerabilities that you will need to address in order to ensure you are applying the correct security management principles to this operation?
