Evacuation

This afternoon the alert tone for a possible evacuation sounded in our building, on our level. This is the first time it's happened without warning and it was a little anxiety producing - perhaps even a little more so for those of us who are fire wardens. It was a good exercise ... and a false alarm thank goodness. Luckily the office had had a trial evacuation only a couple of weeks ago so the procedure was fresh in everyone's mind (except for those of us who were on holiday at the time). I found I could remember the warden procedures but I would have felt a little more comfortable with my cheatsheet/checklist especially if I had updated it with the learnings from the last exercise. (There's a job for tomorrow!)
