Emergency Action Plans

We help you plan how to keep people safe during an emergency in your space.

The Emergency Action Plan (EAP) for your building is designed to assist building occupants with their emergency planning and response efforts. The EAP includes:

  • Link to floor plans
  • Evacuation Assembly Areas
  • Storm Refuge Areas
  • Areas of Rescue Assistance
  • Emergency Response recommendations
  • Building Contacts (administrative & emergency)
  • Floor Coordinators (optional)
  • Lab & hazardous materials information
  • Occupant Accountability lists (optional)
  • Additional assistance needs (optional)
