18/71

The primary role of floor wardens is to facilitate the

evacuation of occupants from the floor during a fire alarm.

Floor wardens are on the front lines of emergency response

when a fire occurs. Their quick actions, clear thinking and

calm leadership are vital to ensuring the safety of building

occupants during a fire emergency. Floor wardens should

be chosen with these considerations in mind. It is

recommended that each floor have atlease two wardens

and that they undergo training at least once a year. Floorwardens should exhibit a concern for others, be able to

handle pressure well and have a assertive, take control

sort of attitude.

10 TIPS For Fire Safety

2. Plan Your Escape From Fire IF A FIRE BREAKS OUT in your home, you have to

get out fast. To prepare, sit down with yourfamily and agree on an escape plan. Be sure that

everyone knows at least two unobstructed exits --doors and windows -- from every room. (If you

live in an apartment building, do not includeelevators in your escape plan.) Decide on a

meeting place outside where everyone will meetafter they escape. Have your entire household

practice your escape plan at least twice a year.

3. Keep an Eye on SmokersCARELESS SMOKING is the leading cause of fire deaths .

Never smoke in bed or when you are drowsy. Providesmokers with large, deep, no-tip ashtrays and soak butts

with water before discarding them. Before going to bed orleaving home after someone has been smoking, check

under and around cushions and upholstered furniture forsmoldering cigarettes.

46/71


47/71

BOMB THREAT

Bombs can be constructed to look like almost anything and can be placed ordelivered in any number of ways. The probability of finding a bomb thatlooks like the stereotypical bomb is almost nonexistent. The only commondenominator that exists among bombs is that they are designed or intended toexplode.

Most bombs are homemade and are limited in their design only byimagination of, and resources available to, the bomber.

Suspicious packages and what to look for:

Letters that are unusually bulky, weighty, lopsided, or rigid.

Parcels or envelopes with oily stains or discolorations.

Parcels or envelopes without return addresses.

Handwritten or poorly typed addresses.

Foreign mail, air mail, or special deliveries.

Restrictive markings, such as confidential, personal, etc.

Use of titles but no names.

Excessive postage.

Parcels or envelopes that simply do not look or feel ordinary.


48/71

BOMB THREAT (CONTINUED)

Handling instructions:

DO NOT handle the item.

DO NOT attempt to open the parcel.

DO NOT place the parcel in water. DO NOT remove any binding material.

DO NOT pull or cut any material that protrudes.

PLEASE LET A TRAINED BOMB TECHNICIAN DETERMINEWHAT IS OR IS NOT A BOMB.

If a potential bomb is discovered, please call 911 immediately andnotify the EAP Director. For additional information, please refer to the

buildings Emergency Action Plan and be guided by instructions fromauthorities.


49/71

WHAT TO DO IN A

HIGH-RISE BUILDING

1. Use available information to evaluate thesituation. Note where the closest emergencyexit is.

2. Be sure you know another way out of thebuilding in case your first choice is blocked.

3. Take cover against a desk or table if thingsare falling.


50/71

WHAT TO DO IN A

HIGH-RISE BUILDING (CONTINUED)

4. Move away from file cabinets, bookshelvesor other things that might fall.

5. Face away from windows and glass. Moveaway from exterior walls.

6. Determine if you should stay put, "shelter-in-place" or get away. Listen for andfollow instructions from EAP Staff orEmergency Personnel.


51/71

WHAT TO DO IN A

HIGH-RISE BUILDING (CONTINUED)

7. Do not use elevators unless instructedby EAP Staff or emergency personnel.

8. Stay to the right while going downstairwells to allow emergency workers

to come up the stairs into the building.


52/71

IF THERE IS AN EXPLOSION

1. Take shelter against your desk or a

sturdy table.

2. Exit the building as quickly as

possible.


53/71

IF THERE IS AN EXPLOSION

(CONTINUED)

3. Do not use elevators unless instructed

by EAP Staff or emergency personnel

4. Check for fire and other hazards.


54/71

IF YOU ARE TRAPPED IN DEBRIS

1. If possible, use a flashlight to signal yourlocation.

2. Avoid unnecessary movement so that youdon't kick up dust.

3. Cover your mouth and nose with anythingyou have on hand. Dense weave cottonmaterial can create a good filter. Try to

breathe through the material.


55/71

IF YOU ARE TRAPPED IN DEBRIS

(CONTINUED)

4. Tap on a pipe or wall so that rescuers can hear where

you are.

5. Use a whistle if one is available. Shout only as a last

resort - shouting can cause a person to inhale

dangerous amounts of dust.


56/71

BIOLOGICAL THREAT

1. A biological attack is the release of germs or otherbiological substances. Many agents must be inhaled,enter through a cut in the skin or be eaten to make yousick. Some biological agents can cause contagiousdiseases, others do not.

2. A biological attack may or may not be immediatelyobvious. While it is possible that you will see signs of a

biological attack it is perhaps more likely that local healthcare workers will report a pattern of unusual illness

3. You will probably learn of the danger through anemergency radio or TV broadcast.


57/71

BIOLOGICAL THREAT (CONTINUED)

4. If you become aware of an unusual orsuspicious release of an unknown substancenearby, it doesn't hurt to protect yourself.

5. Get away from the substance as quickly aspossible.

6. Cover your mouth and nose with layers offabric that can filter the air but still allow

breathing.


58/71

BIOLOGICAL THREAT (CONTINUED)

7. Wash with soap and water and contact authorities.

8 In the event of a biological attack, public healthofficials may not immediately be able to provideinformation on what you should do. However, youshould watch TV, listen to the radio, or check the

Internet for official news as it becomes available.

9. At the time of a declared biological emergency besuspicious, but do not automatically assume that anyillness is the result of the attack. Symptoms of many

common illnesses may overlap. Use common sense,practice good hygiene and cleanliness to avoidspreading germs, and seek medical advice.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OR


59/71

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OR

CHEMICAL SPILLSWe use hazardous materials in our businesses every day. Smallspills occasionally occur, but these incidents generally cause the

public little difficulty other than traffic delays. In the event of amajor spill authorities will instruct you on the best course of action.

General Guidelines:

Stay upwind of the material if possible.

Seek medical attention as soon as possible if needed.

If theres an event indoors, try to get out of the building withoutpassing through the contaminated area. Otherwise, it may be betterto move as far away from the event as possible and shelter-in-

place.

If exposed, remove outer layer of clothes, separate yourself fromthem, and wash yourself.

In some circumstances, after being exposed to hazardous materials,it may be necessary to be decontaminated. Specially trainedemergency personnel will perform decontamination procedures.


60/71

CHEMICAL THREAT

1. A chemical attack is the deliberate release of atoxic gas, liquid or solid that can poison peopleand the environment.

2. Watch for signs such as many people sufferingfrom watery eyes, twitching, choking, havingtrouble breathing or losing coordination.

3. Many sick or dead birds, fish or small animalsare also cause for suspicion.


61/71


62/71

CHEMICAL THREAT (CONTINUED)

7. Otherwise, it may be better to move as far awayfrom where you suspect the chemical release isand "shelter-in-place."

8. If you are outside when you see signs of a

chemical attack, you must quickly decide thefastest way to get away from the chemical threat.

9. Consider if you can get out of the area or if itwould be better to go inside a building andfollow your plan to "shelter-in-place."


63/71

CHEMICAL THREAT (CONTINUED)

10. If your eyes are watering, your skin is stinging,you are having trouble breathing or you simplythink you may have been exposed to achemical, immediately strip and wash. Look

for a hose, fountain, or any source of water.

11. Wash with soap and water, if possible, but donot scrub the chemical into your skin.

12. Seek emergency medical attention.


64/71


65/71

NUCLEAR BLAST (CONTINUED)

Shielding:If you have a thick shield betweenyourself and the radioactive materials more ofthe radiation will be absorbed, and you will beexposed to less.

Distance:The farther away from the blast andthe fallout the lower your exposure.

Time:Minimizing time spent exposed will alsoreduce your risk.


66/71


67/71

RADIATION THREAT (CONTINUED)

4. Distance:The farther away you are from the radiationthe lower your exposure.

5. Time:Minimizing time spent exposed will also reduceyour risk.

6. Local authorities may not be able to immediately provideinformation on what is happening and what you shoulddo. However, you should watch TV, listen to the radio,or check the Internet often for official news andinformation as it becomes available.


68/71

NATURAL DISASTERS

Weather is monitored closely by various government

agencies. Severe weather should be taken seriouslyit canbe dangerous and harm both individuals and property.

Winter Weather: Dangerous winter weather includeswinter storms and blizzards. These can involve a

combination of heavy snow, ice accumulation anddangerous wind chills.

Coastal Storms: Coastal Storms can cause severe damageand hazardous conditions in the City, especially

in low- lying areas where flooding is more likely tooccur. Keep in mind that if you work within 10blocks of a coastal area, it is more likely that you willbe directed to evacuate before a severe coastalstorm of hurricane.


69/71

NATURAL DISASTERS (CONTINUED)

There are three types of coastal storms that typically affect

Tropical Storms: A tropical storm is a tropical cyclonewith sustained winds between 39 and 73 mph.

Hurricanes: A hurricane is a tropical cyclone withsustained winds of 74mph or greater.


70/71

NATURAL DISASTERS (CONTINUED)

Extreme Heat: During summer months, some parts areespecially vulnerable to the hazards

created by hot weather. The asphalt, concrete and metalthat make up the City absorb heat and make itdifficult for the City to cool down. This is knownas the heat island effect.

Earthquakes: Although earthquakes are uncommon as

most buildings are shock /quake proof, tremorsoccasionally occur and building occupants should be

prepared. Note that after an earthquake the utilitiesmay be disrupted.
