Your business will need an elevator emergency evacuation plan if you are located in California or NYC. Since these two locales are more likely to have high-rise buildings (where elevators abound), these elevator emergency signs instruct folks to avoid elevators and take stairs in an emergency.
Per NYC Ch30, Section 3002.3, NYC elevator evacuation maps are posted above the elevator call button. On the contrary, per CFC Ch4, Section 404.6.3 & CBC Ch30, Section 3002.3, California elevator evacuation signs are posted adjacent to the elevator call button. Golden State signs also include an emergency stair and fire symbol.
