Evacuate or Stay Put?
WHY? When an emergency occurs…
Having an evacuation plan in place will increase the likelihood everyone will exit the building safely, loss of vital property will be minimized, and the time away from your home or studio will be less stressful.
Among emergency planners, the general wisdom is “Run from water, hide from wind.”
