Biological, Chemical, Radiologic Event and Pandemic
Biological and chemical threats require important and informed decisions that can affect the lives and safety of building staff, tenants, and visitors. The number of causalities from actual threats will depend on several factors, the most important being the potency or size of the weapon and the efficiency of the delivery system. While an incident involving a chemical agent would probably be quickly noticed, a biological or radiological attack may not be noticed for several days. Evidence of such threats can vary. The agent may appear as a solid, liquid, or gas. A biological or radiological agent release is nearly impossible to identify at the time of release.
In case of an emergency situation, including one related to a terrorist attack, the local and federal police and health systems would immediately take action. The building will follow the guidance of the police and health officials. Each situation warrants a different response. As the building receives information it will be immediately relayed to the tenants.
​
The building will rely on local emergency personnel to administer any necessary medications in response to an emergency situation, including a dirty bomb, biological, chemical or other attack. These personnel have the medical expertise necessary to diagnose and provide the appropriate treatment in such situations.
Chemical Agent
Since chemical agents are typically acutely toxic, their effects are typically abrupt and obvious. Determination as to whether an attack has occurred may be made by observation of the victims. The physiological impact on building occupants and visitors may lead to the immediate inference that they may have been exposed to a chemical agent. It is important to recognize key signs and symptoms of chemical exposure in order to react rapidly. More than any other type of attack, a chemical agent requires quick reaction because a rapid response will have a direct impact on the number of lives saved.
​
General rules for response to a chemical agent are:
-
Recognition of a potential chemical agent incident.
-
You observe two or more people suddenly in physical distress with no obvious cause. For example:
-
Breathing difficulty or uncontrollable coughing
-
Collapse
-
Complaints of nausea
-
Seizures
-
Blurred vision
-
Complaints of an unusual odor
-
Actions to be taken in response to a biological or chemical agent event:
-
Notify 911
-
Stop all personnel from entering the contaminated area.
-
Evacuate people away (opposite direction) from the contaminated area/chemical cloud/area of release.
-
Notify the Management Office at 612 455 3700 of the release in your area.
-
Ensure that people who need assistance receive help from emergency personnel.
Radiological Event
The difficulty of responding to a nuclear or radiological incident is compounded by the nature of the radiation in an explosion. The fact that radioactive material was involved may or may not be obvious, depending upon the nature of the explosive device used. Other than an explosive device to disperse radiological material, a “carrier” could spread particles of radiological waste throughout the area. The effects of this type of event would not become evident for several days or weeks. Unless announced by public emergency officials or confirmed by radiological detection equipment, the presence of a radiation hazard is difficult to ascertain.
​
Response to a radiological event:
If the results of an investigation indicate that a radiological act of terrorism is a realistic possibility, the responsive actions will depend on the evidence discovered.
If a suspected material or a dispersal device is found and a threat is deemed credible, the general steps outlined for responding to a bomb should be taken.
​
Pandemic and Flu
A pandemic of influenza, or flu, occurs when a new flu virus rapidly spreads from human-to-human and country-to-country around the world. A new virus can spread rapidly because most people are not immune to it. Pandemics are not just particularly bad flu seasons. In fact, they can happen any time of the year.
What is troubling is, whenever a flu strain infects people, there is a chance that the virus could mutate, or change, to a new virus that spreads easily from person-to-person and causes serious illness. Infections with new human flu strains cannot be prevented by the flu vaccine that people get each year. Making a safe vaccine that can prevent infections with a new human virus can take several months.
​
There are precautions individuals can take in the event of a pandemic.
-
Frequently washing or sanitizing your hands.
-
Covering up when coughing or sneezing.
-
Be aware of others that exhibit flu symptoms.
-
Most importantly, stay home if you feel sick.
-
​
As a business it is important to develop a plan for:
-
The impact of a pandemic on your business.
-
The impact of a pandemic on your employees and customers.
-
Establishing policies to be implemented during a pandemic.
-
Allocating resources to protect your employees and customers during a pandemic.
-
Educating your employees.
-
Coordinating with external organizations and helping your community.
Bomb Threat and Suspicious Device
Once the Building Management Office has been notified of a bomb threat, it is our policy to advise your firm’s manager or senior officer. It is up to the manager or senior officer to decide whether it is appropriate to evacuate the office.
​
Bomb Threat Procedure
​
If you receive a bomb threat by telephone, obtain the following information from the caller:
-
Exact location of the device.
-
Time set for explosion;
-
Description of the device;
-
Reason the caller has placed the bomb;
-
Exact words used by the caller.
-
Caller’s name
Note the following:
-
Time of call
-
Was the caller male or female
-
Describe voice and accent
-
Background noises
-
Was the caller angry or show other emotions
Upon hanging up with the caller:
-
Call 911
-
Inform Building Management immediately at 612 455 3700.
-
Notify your supervisor.
-
The Building Management Office will notify all tenant companies; in addition, handouts will be given to all persons entering the lobby and the garage to inform them of the bomb threat.
-
If advised to evacuate by your senior officer, do so quickly, and move at least three (3) blocks away.
Suspicious Device Procedure
​
-
Do not attempt to move or touch it.
-
Ensure that all mobile phones/radio devices within 150 feet of the package are shut off.
-
Call 911.
-
Inform Building Security and Building Management immediately at 612 455 3700
-
Evacuation of the immediate area is the responsibility of the Tenant.
Building Emergency Systems
Fire Alarm Pull Stations
Pull stations are located on each floor in the elevator lobby, at each building exit, and at the entrance to each emergency exit stairwell. In case of fire in or near your tenant space, activate the nearest pull station regardless of whether or not the alarm signal has already sounded. In addition, call the Fire Department and Building Security.
​
Fire Life Safety Speaker System
The building is equipped with a life safety speaker system with the capability of notifying all floors, simultaneously or individually, of emergency situations. For the hearing impaired, strobe lighting will be activated, signifying an alarm situation. Special instructions may be broadcast from the Fire Control Room through the ceiling speaker system, which is audible in all tenant spaces and public area.
​
Sprinklers and Smoke Detectors
The building is fully sprinklered and each floor is equipped with smoke detectors. Each system operates independently and automatically. Smoke or heat will activate the alarm signal on that floor, the floor above and the floor below. The alarm will also be activated in the Fire Control Room.
​
Elevators
The elevators will automatically be recalled to the Mezzanine level lobby once a pull station alarm and/or an elevator lobby smoke detector is activated. The elevators will not respond to the lobby call buttons, and they shall not be used for evacuation.
Civil Disturbance
Should a riot or civil disturbance start outside the Building, the courtesy officer may lock all entrances to the building. The police will be notified. We will keep you informed. If a disturbance should occur in the main lobby, all elevators will be turned off at the first floor and the police will be summoned.
Elevator Malfunction
If you are in an elevator and it malfunctions, remain calm. Modern elevator technology makes it virtually impossible for the elevator to fall. There is no physical danger in a stalled elevator, only the inconvenience of waiting to be released. Pressing the emergency button within the cab will alert the elevator vendor that the elevator is malfunctioning. The elevator company will be notified immediately and a technician dispatched to correct the problem. Building Management staff and/or courtesy officers will make all attempts to remain in constant contact and let you know what is being done.
​
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, ELEVATORS MUST NOT BE USED FOR EVACUATION. USE THE STAIRWELLS.
Evacuation Purpose
The purpose of this plan is to provide for the safe and orderly evacuation of personnel and visitors in the event of an emergency situation. This plan contains procedures on how to report an emergency, what to do and who will assist you. The procedures outlined in this plan are to be followed unless otherwise directed by police or fire department officials. In order to establish a safe and orderly plan of evacuation, employees should become familiar with the building emergency equipment and this emergency plan.
​
Statement of Policy
This plan has been developed with the knowledge that there is no such thing as a “fire-proof” building and that education, preparation and rehearsal are essential to a successful emergency evacuation plan.
​
Evacuation Procedures
If an individual smells smoke or sees a fire, a pull station box must be pulled. If there is time, ensure that the Fire Department is alerted by calling 911. Then, call the Building Management Office
Evacuation procedures shall begin upon hearing a fire alarm or as otherwise instructed by emergency personnel (i.e., Fire Wardens/Suite Monitors, Building Management or Fire Department officials).
​
During an Evacuation: REMAIN CALM
-
Close, but DO NOT LOCK, each office door as you leave, if you have time. Walk quietly in an orderly manner to the nearest emergency exit.
-
If your primary exit is blocked by smoke, use your secondary exit.
-
Request assistance in evacuating impaired persons by implementing the Buddy System. Listen for instructions from the Fire Department and other Fire Wardens/Suite Monitors.
-
DO NOT USE ELEVATORS during an alarm. They will recall to the first floor with the doors locked open. The elevator will not operate during a fire alarm.
-
Feel the face of closed doors for heat before grabbing doorknobs and opening. If the door feels hot, DO NOT OPEN, but proceed to alternate exit route.
-
Go to the nearest accessible stairwell exit; walk quietly on the RIGHT side of stairwell, holding on to handrails. DO NOT RUN. Emergency personnel are trained to use the LEFT side of the stairwell to come up so please stay out of their way.
-
Be prepared to merge with other people evacuating from other floors. Do not prop open stairwell doors.
-
Gather with co-workers in a predetermined assembly area once outside and away from the building. This will help facilitate head-count procedures.
-
Walk to the predetermined gathering places. DO NOT congregate in the fire lanes, near building entrances, or otherwise impede the arrival of emergency equipment and personnel.
-
Do not get in your car and drive away, as this will give a distorted head-count and interfere with arriving emergency equipment.
-
Do not return to the building until the “all clear” is given by the Fire Department. Cessation of an audible alarm is not an “all clear.” Wait for specific instructions to re-enter the building.
-
Directives issued by the Fire Department or other emergency personnel will take precedence over this plan.
Evacuation Procedure for Individuals with an Impairment or Disability
The Fire Warden should maintain an up-to-date list of all persons with an impairment or disability on their floor. Please note that persons with an impairment or disability may not appear to be so. Such individuals may include those with a heart condition or other ailment(s), which are not immediately apparent. We recommend asking each individual if they would be able to evacuate without assistance in an emergency. Those individuals should be directed to a “safe room.” This room is a window office, preferably a corner office with a telephone. The Fire Warden should compile a list, which will include the following information about the persons with an impairment or disability:
-
Name
-
Suite number, location and telephone extension of the safe room Type of impairment
-
Type of equipment needed to evacuate, if any
A system should be implemented wherein the Fire Warden will assign two assistants to the person(s) with an impairment or disability. Assistant #1 will remain with the individual with an impairment or disability while Assistant #2 exits the building and provides information to the Fire Department personnel. The person(s) with an impairment or disability should not be left alone until the evacuation plans are in place.
​
NOTE: Persons with an impairment or a physical disability may include any of the following:
​
-
Persons with a permanent disability (i.e., permanent back problem, wheelchair user, etc.); persons with a temporary disability (i.e., broken leg, broken arm, sprained ankle, on crutches, etc.); or other impairments (mental or psychological);
-
Pregnant women;
-
Any other person who requests assistance;
-
Once the Fire Department arrives, their instructions should be followed immediately.
Fire and Life Safety Systems
Central Fire Alarm System
The fire alarm system will activate if a smoke detector, sprinkler head or pull station is activated. Audible alarms and visual strobes will activate, and a 24-hour monitoring center will automatically dispatch the Fire Department. Building doors will automatically switch to an unlocked status if alarm occurs after normal building operating hours. Fire Department will respond and investigate the source of the alarm.
Smoke detectors, horns, and strobes are located throughout the building in accordance with current building codes. The central fire alarm system is activated whenever a fire alarm condition exists. The Engineering staff is trained on the system and will take the proper action for such emergencies. Manual fire alarm pull stations are located throughout the building, generally near exits from an area or floor. Fire extinguishers are located in cabinets next to the stairwell doors and strategically throughout tenant spaces. Please arrange for training of your staff on the proper use of fire extinguishers. The Fire Department and authorized fire extinguisher companies can assist you with training. Building Management can assist you in arranging for training. A telephone is present inside each elevator that rings to a monitoring system. Persons trapped in an elevator can get assistance through this means of communication. In addition, a trapped occupant during business hours can push a button labeled, “EMERGENCY ALARM”. An alarm bell can be heard to alert building occupants that someone is trapped inside. Stairwells are pressurized with outside air to prevent smoke from entering and allowing a safe, smoke free, exit from the building. Elevator shafts are also pressurized with outside air in case someone is unknowingly trapped in an elevator during a fire emergency.
​
Assisting Visitors Unfamiliar with Building
Please be aware that if visitors are present during an emergency, your Emergency Team needs to assist the visitor in evacuating the premises. If a visitor sign-in sheet is maintained at your front desk, we suggest someone be assigned to bring that information to the Suite Monitor after evacuating the building in order to help facilitate an accurate head-count.
​
Above all, everyone involved needs to keep their own safety in mind and allow the Fire Department to take control.
Fire Emergency
IF YOU DISCOVER A FIRE, you should remain calm and:
-
Pull the nearest fire alarm. Alarms are located in the corridors adjacent to the stairwells.
-
Call 911 from a safe location.
-
Evacuate or relocate and assist all others in the immediate area.
-
Close doors behind you to isolate fire.
-
Proceed to stairwells and listen for instructions. NEVER use the elevators.
-
Be cautious when opening doors so as not to spread the fire. Touch any door to see if it is hot before opening.
-
Quickly and quietly exit the building, via the enclosed stairways located at opposite ends of each side of the building, and remain outside until Building Management, Security or the responding authorities announce the “all clear.”
If smoke is present, stay low and crawl with your body against the floor. The clearest air is near the floor. If forced to make a dash through smoke or flame, hold your breath and cover your nose and mouth with an article of clothing.
Fire Prevention
Inspection Suggestions
While everyone needs to know how to respond in an emergency, it is also important to take steps to prevent emergencies from occurring. We recommend a monthly Fire Safety Inspection including, but not limited to, the following items:
​
Move flammable or combustible supplies off-site. If your Lease provides that chemicals or materials be stored on-site in quantities requiring MSDS sheets to be posted, they must be posted in central locations where they are visible to all. Flammable liquids should be kept in a flammable cabinet. Avoid using extension cords instead of permanent wiring. If used, extension cords need the three prong connections and no multiple outlets. Use breaker strips. All UL Listed authorized appliances and electrical cords should be in good repair. All electrical appliances for coffee, cooking or heating should be turned off every day before leaving the office. No smoking.
Candles or open flames are not allowed in the building at any time. Potential fire hazards including, but not limited to, blocked stairwells, faulty fire protection equipment, leaks, or damaged wiring should be reported to the Building Management Office immediately. Building Management does not allow space heaters, as they are a fire hazard. Please contact the management office if you are cold in your office. All emergency contact lists, physically impaired employee lists and other critical information lists should be kept current. Evacuation procedures should be reviewed among Suite Monitors for appropriateness, on a regular basis. Procedures should be communicated to occupants in your assigned area at least quarterly.
​
Do not accumulate quantities of discarded files or other paper trash in your office or storage area. Pay special attention to housekeeping in those departments that produce quantities of debris, such as duplication machines, mailing and receiving rooms.
​
Do not store large quantities of flammable solvents, duplicating fluids, or other combustible fluids.
​
Keep electrical appliances in good repair. Report unsafe conditions to the building office.
​
When furnishing an office, consider the fire potential of materials used in large amounts, like overstuffed chairs, settees, couches or anything that could become a combustible item. Such furnishings should be flameproofed.
​
Where potential for fire is especially high, such as supply rooms, tenants may wish to consider installing additional fire extinguishers. Additionally, items being stored must maintain an 18” clearance between those items and the ceiling.
​
Fire Safety with Christmas Trees
Christmas trees pose a major fire hazard if the proper precautions are not taken. Below are guidelines provided by the Fire Department. This list does not represent all the precautions and requirements, so before displaying any Christmas tree or ornament with lighting, please request the complete set of guidelines from the Fire Department. All artificial trees should be UL approved or labeled as flame-retardant/resistive by manufacturer. Decorations on trees must also be non-flammable.
​
Lights on Christmas trees must be UL listed. Small, low-temperature bulbs are recommended. No candles or open flames are allowed on, or in the vicinity of, the tree, including portable heating devices. All tree lights should be turned off nightly. Live or cut trees must be watered and monitored. If a cut tree becomes too dry it must be removed promptly. Cut trees must also be disposed of properly via one of the numerous local organizations that offer services during the holidays. Do not dump cut trees in the trash enclosure.
Flooding
In the event of a flood that may cause damage to tenant property or affect the normal operation of the building, designated tenant representatives will be contacted by Building Management personnel, regardless of the time of day.
​
The first priority is to ensure that no personal injury occurs as the result of a flood. The second priority is to discover the cause and prevent or minimize additional flooding.
​
Once the flooding has been contained, clean-up operations will be commenced. Tenants will need to contact their insurance carrier for any damage to their property.
​
Follow these same procedures should the sprinkler system release within the building.
Homeland Security
Shorenstein recommends that each tenant have an emergency action plan in place to help their employees prepare for, and react quickly to, a regional emergency, including terrorist attacks. Click on the links below to access a variety of resources that aid in preparing for a regional emergency.

Medical Emergency
In the event that an accident or illness befalls one of your employees, or a visitor to your office area, please:
​
-
Call Emergency Services at 911.
-
Provide the Emergency Dispatcher with the following information:
-
Your Name
-
Your Building’s name and address
-
Your specific floor number, and the exact location of the emergency
-
Any pertinent details of the accident or illness
-
-
Do not move the injured/ill person. Attempt to make them as comfortable as possible.
-
If feasible, send someone to meet the emergency unit upon its arrival in the lobby.
-
Call the Building Management Office
-
Inform management that you have called 911 and briefly describe the nature of the emergency.
-
-
The emergency unit will be with you shortly and will administer all necessary medical assistance.
-
Determine, if possible:
-
Name, address and age of injured/ill person
-
The nature of the problem, as best you can surmise
-
All known allergies and current medications taken by the individual
-
A local doctor
-
The Management, Engineering and Security staff will do all we can to ensure the patient’s comfort while awaiting the arrival of the medical rescue team. Although we assume no liability for our assistance, we strongly encourage Tenants and employees to become familiar with First Aid, as well as the contact information and protocol used to alert emergency services.
Power Failure
The Washington Square buildings and common areas are served by emergency generators. In the event of power failure, these generators will provide limited emergency power for certain basic building functions. Those functions include:
​
-
Activating emergency lights on each floor throughout the Building, including all Exit signs.
-
Activating all stairwell lighting.
-
Activating the Building’s emergency Fire, Life and Safety Systems as well as the Building’s communication systems.
If power failure should continue beyond the duration of the generator power, the building may be deemed closed by Building Management and all occupants will be required to evacuate until the power can be restored and the building is safe for re-entry.
Severe Weather and Natural Disasters
The U.S. Weather Service reports the movement of severe weather that may present a threat to metropolitan area. Tenants have the choice of evacuating or remaining in the building during a severe weather alert. If your company decides to evacuate the building, notify the Incident Commander of your intention to do so. If an early alert is given by the U.S. Weather Service and a decision is made to remain in the building, certain steps can be taken to prepare for the severe weather.
​
Tenants should maintain an inventory of first aid and emergency supplies to be used during severe weather.
Notify the management office of all leaks, fires, and structural or other damage during or after the storm.
If informed by the U.S. Weather Service that severe weather is imminent, follow the steps below:
​
-
Move to core areas of the building
-
Take cover in an interior hallway
-
Stay away from doors and windows
-
Close perimeter doors behind you
Major Natural Disasters
Disasters and emergencies affecting large areas can sometimes develop quickly. Flash floods and earthquakes, for example, can strike with little or no advance warning. Perhaps the most basic thing to remember is to KEEP CALM. In the event of a disaster or emergency: Keep your radio or television set tuned to hear weather reports and forecasts (issued by The National Weather Service) as well as other information and advice that may be broadcast by your local government. Use your telephone only to report disaster events to the Lake Oswego Police Department or Lake Oswego Fire Department (depending on the nature of the emergency) and Property Management. If you tie-up phone lines simply to get information, you may prevent emergency calls from being completed. Stay away from disaster area. Follow the advice and instructions of authorities in charge.

Hurricanes
Hurricanes are a potential threat from June through November in the Houston area. These tropical storms are characterized by winds in excess of 75 miles per hour and extremely heavy rain. The following suggestions and divisions of responsibilities are designed to provide for the safety of all, by reducing the chance of injury or death and minimizing the potential loss of assets.
Alerts
The U.S. Weather Service reports the movement of tropical depressions that may present a threat to the Gulf Coast area. Given an early alert, certain steps should be taken to prepare for the hurricane.
Customer Duties
It is advantageous both to our Customers and the property management staff that the building be evacuated as expediently as possible once hurricane preparations have been made in each Customer’s suite. (See below)
-
It is advisable for all Customers to make necessary preparations for their suite as follows:
-
Raise all mini-blinds within the suite.
-
Disconnect all computers or other machines and remove any units located in window wall offices.
-
Waterproof tarpaulins can be useful in covering desks and filing cabinets.
-
Clear all desks, credenzas and filing cabinets of loose articles and store in file cabinets.
-
All major Customers, and those with significant computer or after-hours operations are encouraged to implement their own written Hurricane Emergency plan to deal with operation and protection of their systems and personnel.
If a hurricane is imminent, Customers should initiate and complete office preparation in sufficient time to allow employees to leave work to secure their homes prior to the expected arrival of gale-force winds. The Building Management will be monitoring U.S. Weather Bureau reports and will advise Customer companies of changes in weather conditions for their own evacuation decisions.
Always notify the Building Management Office upon evacuation of your space.
Public Utility Duties
Auxiliary Power - Center Point Energy has provided primary power. During disasters that cause loss of primary power, the Power Company will work to restore service as quickly as possible. Customers with vital energy power requirement should consider auxiliary generators or surge protectors for their own use.
Telephone Service
Telephone service may be interrupted during severe weather. Telephone companies are capable of installing emergency service lines to Customers having compatible switching equipment. Customers requiring emergency service should ask their telephone representative for specific information.
Building Duties
When a hurricane is imminent, the following action will be taken by the Building Management Staff:
-
Bring potential flying objects indoors
-
Building auxiliary power for emergency lighting, etc. will be re-tested to ensure its availability.
-
Supplies of building and other materials will be checked or obtained for availability to cover broken windows, etc.
During the storm, the following actions will be taken by the Building Staff:
-
Frequent contact will be maintained with the U.S. Weather Service.
-
Building Patrols will be performed continually by the security officer on duty, the property manager and engineering staff to monitor building damage.
-
Emergency repairs will be made when weather permits.
After the storm, the following actions will be taken by the Building Staff.
-
A thorough search for safety hazards will be conducted.
-
Repairs will be made as quickly as possible.
-
Constant communications will be maintained with Public Utilities until all disrupted service is restored.
-
The Building Management Staff will update the Shorenstein Tenant National Emergency Number 800 589 2554 of the condition of the Building and its ability to be reopened for normal use.
Tornado
By definition, a tornado warning is an alert by the National Weather Service confirming a tornado sighting and location. Keep a radio tuned in to hear whether the Weather Service will announce the approximate time of detection and direction of movement. In the Event of a Tornado Warning: REMAIN CALM. Stay away from the interior perimeter of the building and all exterior glass. Leave your exterior office and close the door. Go to an enclosed stairwell and move to basement level if time permits and it is safe to do so. Sit down in stairwell or core areas and protect yourself by putting head as close to your lap as possible, or kneel protecting your head. If you are trapped in an outside office, seek protection under a desk or sturdy table. Keep your own radio or television set tuned to a local station for updated information.
​
Water Interruption
A temporary interruption of the water supply may result in the disruption of building services. Without water, it is not possible to maintain sanitary conditions or building cooling systems. Additionally, water interruption limits the Fire Department’s ability to extinguish fires.
Power Failure
The Washington Square buildings and common areas are served by emergency generators. In the event of power failure, these generators will provide limited emergency power for certain basic building functions. Those functions include:
​
-
Activating emergency lights on each floor throughout the Building, including all Exit signs.
-
Activating all stairwell lighting.
-
Activating the Building’s emergency Fire, Life and Safety Systems as well as the Building’s communication systems.
If power failure should continue beyond the duration of the generator power, the building may be deemed closed by Building Management and all occupants will be required to evacuate until the power can be restored and the building is safe for re-entry.

Shelter in Place Plan
Purpose of the Plan
The Minneapolis Fire Code requires various buildings to develop a plan to shelter occupants inside the building in the event of a hazardous material, biological, or other emergency outside the building. The purpose of the shelter-in-place plan is to safeguard occupants during an emergency outside the building by preventing or limiting the infiltration of hazardous materials into the building by closing doors, shutting off air handling/HVAC systems and moving occupants away from perimeter windows and doors to safer locations in the building. Where possible these locations will be near restrooms. Once a year there will be a shelter-in-place drill conducted to ensure occupants know what to do and where to go in an emergency. In addition to the Building Staff, Tenant Safety Wardens will be responsible for performing duties and shall be provided with training.
​
Procedures
Building Management will announce via broadcast e-mail, phone tree and fire tower public address system when a shelter-in-place emergency is occurring. When an emergency is announced Tenant Safety Wardens will ensure that all occupants in their suite go to their designated shelter locations. Security will recall the elevators to the lobby level by manually initiating a fire recall sequence via the keyed override switches in the Lobby. They will also close and lock all outside doors at the lobby level and loading dock. In addition, Security will insure that all retail tenants that have direct access to the street level close and secure these doors. Please note that in accordance with City Fire Code, all fire exit doors will be accessible for egress. Designated re-entry stair tower doors (these doors will be labeled) will be unlocked during the emergency to allow for interfloor travel. In some types of emergencies occupants in the lower levels will be directed to the upper floors to avoid possible exposure to outside contaminants that are heavier than air. The Building Engineers will shut down all air handling equipment and close all outside air dampers. Building Management will monitor the emergency via the city's emergency broadcast network, local news radio, and cable TV emergency broadcast systems. Updates will be provided to the building occupants via the fire tower public address system.
​
Shelter Locations
Occupants of multi-tenant floors should shelter-in-place in the area of the common corridor. Occupants of single tenant floors should shelter-in-place in the most interior of rooms or spaces within the confines of their respective floor.
​
Physically Disabled Persons
As with fire emergency procedures, the Tenant Safety Wardens shall ensure that those with a physical disability be assisted to their shelter location.
​
All Clear
When notified that the emergency is over, Building Management will direct all occupants via the fire tower public address system to evacuate the building until the building air handling systems are operated to remove any contaminates.
​
Annual Shelter-in-Place Drill
The annual shelter-in-place drill will be scheduled through the Building Management Office. Please note that a full building evacuation is not required during this drill.
Threatening Person & Armed Intruder
-
Immediately report any situation involving a threatening person to the Atlanta Police Department by calling 911. Also notify the Building Management Office.
-
Provide as much information as possible including a physical description of the person(s) and their location. Also, the statements made by said Person(s) and if they are armed.
-
Also, report the presence of any suspicious individuals in or about the property to Property Management. A physical description of the person and the location they were last seen will also be important information to communicate.
Toxic Hazards
If there is a toxic spill or exposure, proceed immediately to an area where you are no longer exposed and call 911. Give Building address, floor and phone number, and what type of spill has occurred. Take appropriate action to contain the hazard, close doors behind you, and always follow all safety procedures when working with toxic materials.
​
Natural Gas
Natural gas is supplied to the 100 & 111 buildings. If you notice a natural gas odor notify the Building Management at 612 455 3700 to have it investigated. Provide specific information about the location where the odor was noticed.
