Before an Emergency 

​

Whether you work, play or live in Canada you need to embrace the fact that personal preparedness is an individual responsibility. Emergency responders do a great job keeping people safe, but they can’t do it alone. Take action to prepare for the types of emergencies that could affect you where you live, work and visit.

Evacuation Planning 

What is an Emergency Evacuation Plan?

An emergency evacuation plan is a set of procedures developed by families and employers to help facilitate safe evacuations in case of workplace emergencies. Emergency evacuation plans usually contain exit routes, locations of designated safe areas, and the specific steps to follow for each type of emergency.

​

When is Evacuation Needed?

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), while any type of emergency may require an evacuation, it should still be decided on a case-by-case basis.

Conditions under which an evacuation would be necessary include:

  • Floods and hurricanes

  • Tornadoes

  • Fires and explosions

  • Chemical spills, radiological accidents, and toxic gas leaks

  • Civil disturbances and moments of unrest

  • Workplace violence resulting in bodily harm, trauma, and destruction of property that can put others at risk

​

Step 1:   Evaluate the Emergency 

Step 2:  Determine Exit Routes (3 or more)

Step 3:  Identify Safe Areas 

Step 4:  Assign Responsibilities 

Step 5:  Conduct Training Exercise 

Step 6:  Prepare Emergency Kits 

​

Remember to Stay Calm and be sure to share your plan with all who going to be affected in your residence,  and work place.
