An evacuation plan lays out how to exit a building safely during an emergency. As per the double floor diagram below, evacuation plans let employees, family members, or guests know exactly where to go after leaving the building. Rather than separating to different sides of the building or drifting to their vehicles, the plan lets the staff know where they are expected to be and when they are expected to be there after the evacuation begins. As the evacuation plan for the double floor illustrates, the emergency plan includes all possible emergencies, consequences, required actions, written procedures, and the resources available.
