If the primary site is full, then the stairwell will be utilized as the secondary <br />location, as determined by a member of Public Safety. <br />If non -staff members are present in the Municipal Center, staff should direct them to move to the <br />designated area. <br />A member of Public Safety will notify all areas when the situation has become stable and all <br />persons may return to normal activities. <br />During Non -Business Hours <br />A member of Building Maintenance will guide all groups to the Police Locker Rooms and <br />remain with the group until the situation has become stable.
