SEQUENCE OF EVACUATION

The incident management team will determine which floors and/or smoke zones are evacuated first and in which order.

Those floors that are most in danger or the floors where the incident occurred are to be evacuated first. Then adjacent floors are evacuated.

Which floors/zones should move first?

       –  Areas in greatest danger should be first to move, followed by adjacent areas

       –  If there is no immediate threat, evacuate facility top to bottom

Otherwise, evacuation starts at the top floor and work downward. In all incidents, patients are to be evacuated according their Evacuation Category Level.
