1. Treat each alarm as if it were an actual emergency and leave as quickly as possible.

2. Close all windows and leave the shades/curtains open.

3. Close and lock your door and leave your light on.

4. Dress appropriately (weather-wise, footwear, etc.).

5. Exit by the nearest stairwell and go away from the building so as not to impede the progress of fire equipment or people evacuating from the building. Standing on the opposite side of walkways in front of the buildings is a good rule of thumb.

6. Remain outside the building until the alarm is turned off and the “all clear” is given.
