OSHA states that it is important to have an evacuation plan in place to ensure that workers can get to safety in case a hurricane may affect the area. A thorough evacuation plan should include:
– Conditions that will activate the plan.
– Chain of command.
– Emergency functions and who will perform them.
– Specific evacuation procedures, including routes and exits.
– Procedures for accounting for personnel, customers and visitors.
– Equipment for personnel.
