Evacuation And Internal Shelter
Traditional evacuation plans developed to meet the threat of fire are no longer sufficient in work environments where there is a threat, however small, of a terrorist attack. Such a threat does not need to be directed at your organisation or building; it can be directed at another organisation nearby (up to half a kilometre or more) for it to put your staff and building at risk.
Consideration should now be given to adopting new emergency response strategies. These include partial, phased and directed evacuation procedures and shelter in-place or invacuation. Each of these require their own procedures and different drills and tests than a standard fire procedure or drill.
