1. Upon activation of the fire alarm, all persons within the Lee Medical Building will immediately begin exiting the building through the nearest available exit route. 
   1. Elevators should NOT be used during an evacuation event unless necessary for the evacuation of a disabled/handicapped person.
   2. Prior to leaving the room, any open fires, hot plates, coffee pots, or similar equipment should be turned off. 
   3. Electrical equipment that cannot be left unattended for prolonged periods should also be turned off prior to exiting the room. 
2. Designated staff from each floor will quickly survey the floor to assure that evacuation is in progress or completed.  The following staff have been designated:
   • Lower level:  Ruth Bakker/Shyla Brooks-Clark (East); Megan Mead/Charles Lockard (West)
