  1. Building Staff Training For 450 Lexington Ave.

  2. Fire Safety Plan • In the event of a fire, the occupants on the floor with the fire and the floor above will evacuated to at least two floors below • Never use elevators

  3. Emergency Action Plan • Definition: A plan that includes staffing, emergency procedures, and drills for non-fire emergencies, that is approved by the FDNY. • Purpose: To prepare the building personnel and occupants to be better prepared for non-fire emergencies.

  4. Types of Response • Shelter in Place: • Building occupants are advised to remain inside the building, at their desk or work area, in response to an emergency. They shall wait for further instructions and be prepared to move if so ordered. • In-Building Relocation: • Occupants are moved to an EAP-approved safe harbor on their floor or a nearby floor. This safe space is called an In-Building Relocation Area (IBRA) and is usually located in a protected interior space of the building, away from windows. In-building relocation Areas in your building include conference rooms, elevator lobbies, interior corridors, and reception areas. • Warden Teams shall check the floor plan posted on their floor to locate their designated IBRA. • Partial Evacuation • Occupants from one or more floors—but not the entire building—shall leave the building and move to a designated external safe area. • Full Evacuation • The Fire Safety/EAP Director instructs all occupants to leave the building and move to a designated external safe area.
