ANNOUNCEMENT DEFINITION
SHELTER-IN-PLACE
| The precaution of directing Building Occupants to remain inside the Building, at their work locations, in Response to an Emergency. |
| The order to Shelter-In-Place is typically issued by the FLS Director, after the Director learns that there is an incident, or threat thereof, in the immediate vicinity of the Building or in the Building itself. This Response gives the FLS Director and his/her Staff more time to gather any information about the incident in order to make further Announcements. |
| Sheltering-In-Place would also occur when an Emergency is identified and/or contained and movement throughout the Building would expose Occupants to danger. For instance, if a suspicious envelope was received by a Building Occupant and then allow the FLS Director time to call 911 and let the Authorities reported, an order by the FLS Director to Shelter-In-Place would further investigate while Building Occupants remain in their workplaces away from the endangered area. |
| If it is decided that a call to Shelter-in-Place is necessary, the FLS Director will make the following Announcement: |
ANNOUNCEMENT DEFINITION
IN-BUILDING RELOCATION
| The controlled movement of Building Occupants from an endangered area of a Building to an In-Building Relocation area within the same Building in Response to an Emergency. |
| The EAP Director may order all Building Occupants to immediately move to their designated In Building Relocation areas. Every Floor of every Building with an Accepted EAP has a designated In-Building Relocation area. Generally, but not always, these In-Building Relocation Areas are located on Interior Corridors or in the Lobby near the core of the Building. |
| It is important to know that certain Floors have more Occupants than space to accommodate them during an In-Building Relocation. For example, Trading Floors, where many people work very closely together may not have an In-Building Relocation Area designated on the same Floor as their workspace. In this situation, Occupants may In-Building Relocate to another Floor. Floor Plans with the designated In-Building Relocation Areas mapped are available for you to view is available using the link below: |

ANNOUNCEMENT DEFINITION
PARTIAL- OR FULL-EVACUATION
| The definition of Partial Evacuation is: “The emptying of a Building of some, but not all, Building Occupants in Response to an Emergency.” An example of Partial Evacuation may be caused by a suspicious
car parked in front of the Building that is believed to have explosives. Here, partially evacuating a tall Building may mean simply evacuating the Lower Floors that may be affected if the car was an explosive device. |
| The definition of an Evacuation is: “The emptying of a Building of all Building Occupants in Response to an Emergency.” |
| The safe evacuation of a Building — if necessary and so instructed — should be a well-organized Response to an Emergency. The Primary means of evacuating a Building under LL26 is the Stairways. The FLS Director may make an Announcement alerting Building Occupants as to specific Stairways that are safe during a Building Evacuation. |
