Does your place of business have a designated area of refuge? During an emergency, some people may need extra assistance to safely exit the building. In the meantime, direct them to a safe waiting place with area of refuge signs. This way, occupants can wait there until rescued or relieved by firefighters (or other first responders). Office buildings are required to have an area of refuge unless the building is equipped with a supervised automated sprinkler system, and the building has an ADA-compliant wheelchair-accessible route to exit the building.
