Purses, backpacks, and electronics stay at your desk.
Voices Off
We stay quiet so we can hear Important Instructions from staff or fire fighters.
"Eyes on staff, ears open, voices off."
What if a door is blocked?
Turn Around
If you see smoke or a blocked door, calmly turn around.
Alternative Route
Staff will lead you to the next closest exit.
Stay Flexible
Always listen for the new plan!
