Hi, I'm Don Dawson. Imagine a crisis striking your workplace. The only option is for everyone to get out. Would you be ready to clear the building safely? In this program, we'll show you how and explain what you'll need to know. Dealing with an emergency is never easy; neither is evacuating a facility during one. Very few of us can think clearly or act logically in a crisis, and our urge to get out can easily turn into panic. The result can often be a stampede that causes injuries and property damage. But it doesn't have to be that way, because you can help to ensure that an evacuation is calm and orderly.
