Evacuation Plan

In the event of a fire alarm emergency, a strobe will activate on the affected floors.  Employees should listen to their floor leaders and the PA system.  If notified to evacuate the building, do so as quickly and safely as possible using the stairs located on the South, Center and North wings of the building. Follow the instructions of the Chicago Fire Department, Chicago Police Department, Safety & Security, Engineering and the Floor Leaders on your floor.   Each floor has three volunteer floor leaders to assist you during emergencies. Ask a Safety and Security supervisor for a list of the floor leaders on your floor.

How to Respond to an Active Shooter Situation

An active shooter is an individual engaged in randomly killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area, typically through the use of firearms.

1) RUN

• Have an escape route and plan in mind
• Leave your belongings behind
• Keep your hands visible

2) HIDE

• Hide in an area out of the shooter’s view
• Block entry to your hiding place and lock the doors
• Silence your cell phone

3) FIGHT

• As a last resort and only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to incapacitate the shooter
• Act with physical aggression
