Evergreen Safety Council was participating in the Cascade Neighborhood Preparedness Project: Evacuation Drill. The purpose of the evacuation drill was to:
- Exercise our organizations’ building evacuation plans (as normally conducted on an annual basis)
- Gain greater awareness and understanding of evacuation plans across the neighborhood
- Improve emergency preparedness for our staff, individual organizations and the neighborhood
Has your organization held an evacuation drill in the past year? Being prepared is key to ensuring employee and visitor safety. If you can schedule an evacuation drill for your whole organization (as appropriate) great! If not, there is still great value in you or key leaders and facility staff walking through your plans –the more people from your organization that participate, the better - even if it is just a small representative group.
If you don't know where to start, ESC trainers can help. Contact Eric Tofte for more information.
All the pictures from this morning are posted on the Evergreen Safety Council Facebook page.
Stay safe!
