PROCEDURE:

THE SECURITY TEAM MEMBERS WILL STOP SENDING TRUCKS UNDERGROUND 15 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE START OF THE DRILL, AND WILL NOTIFY ALL DRIVERS THAT WE WILL BE CONDUCTING A DRILL. SECURITY WILL LOCK THE EXIT GATE ARMS UP IN THE "OPEN" POSITION BEFORE THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE DRILL. TO AVOID CONGESTION, SECURITY WILL MANAGE TRAFFIC AT THE SE.

THE TWO TEAM MEMBERS POSTED AT THE COMMAND CENTER WILL ENSURE ALL RADIOS ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AS WELL AS ON THE SAME CHANNEL. THE COMMAND CENTER TEAM MEMBERS WILL THEN ALERT THE EMERGENCY TEAM THAT THE DRILL IS ABOUT TO BEGIN. AT THIS TIME, THE EXIT GATES (SE AND N) WILL BE LOCKED OPEN, AND ENTRANCE GATES LOCKED IN THE CLOSED POSITION. ALL BUILDINGS WITHIN THE UNDERGROUND WILL BE ALERTED TO THE DRILL VIA CALL BOX SYSTEM 5 TIMES, ONCE EVERY 30 SECONDS. (1 MIN 30 SEC)

PROCEDURE CONT..

DURING THE COURSE OF THE DRILL, THE TEAM MEMBERS AT EACH MUSTER POINT WILL KEEP A CHECKLIST OF EACH BUILDING AND WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NOTATE THE EXACT TIME AT WHICH THE BUILDING "CHECKED-IN" AS SAFE. EACH BUILDING HAS A MUSTER POINT WHERE THEY WILL GATHER. AFTER THE LAST BUILDING HAS CHECKED IN SAFE, AN "ALL CLEAR" ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE BROADCASTED TO EACH TEAM AND BUILDING. THE COMMAND CENTER TEAM WILL BROADCAST THE "EVACUATION COMPLETE" ANNOUNCEMENT.

PROCEDURE CONT..

LASTLY, OBSERVE ROADWAYS UNTIL PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC HAS CLEARED, THEN UNLOCK THE GATES AND INFORM THE TEAM TO RELEASE TRUCK TRAFFIC TO NORMAL OPERATION.

MIRRORS

Expect the Unexpected

Never assume you have the right-of-way, even if technically, you do. Hazards can come seemingly out of nowhere.

• A vehicle unexpectantly pulls out in front of you, or from behind a pillar.
• A driver does not yield to posted traffic signs.
• A driver is in the wrong lane traveling in the wrong direction (towards you).

Expect the Unexpected...

Never assume you have the right-of-way, even if technically, you do. Hazards can come seemingly out of nowhere.

• Unexpected u-turns

• Blind spots and intersections
• Entering the Underground (light adjustment), might take a moment to register surroundings

PEDESTRIANS

As we continue to grow and develop, we will continue to see an increase of pedestrian traffic (foot traffic). Keep in mind, our tenants continue to scale their businesses as well, which means a further increase in pedestrian traffic.

PEDESTRIANS...

• Slow down
• Assess the situation
• Yield to pedestrians

• Remain alert
• Stay off your phone
• Remove headphones
• Be visible (reflective or light colored clothing)
• Utilize crosswalks
• Obey traffic signs/signals

THANK YOU!!
