When an emergency evacuation is required, time is of the essence. Preparation for the moment is critical. Event organizers and business, hospitality and retail managers use onsite security guards to help with the planning and implementation of emergency evacuations.

Emergency Evacuation Preparation. Every location, including corporate offices, restaurants, hotels, assisted living facilities, hospitals, events and shopping malls, is required to have an evacuation plan in place. Security guards at these locations play an important role.

Management and guard staff plan:

–scenarios resulting in mandatory evacuations

–roles of staff and guards

–communication protocols

–staging areas for evacuees

–regular evacuation drills

In most emergency evacuation situations, staff and guards must act fast and seamlessly to move a large number of individuals to safety. Working as a team with law enforcement and emergency crews will ensure that evacuations are conducted safely.
