Emergency Procedures: Power Failure
The building has an emergency generator, which will provide emergency power for certain basic building
functions in the event of power failure. The functions include:
Activating emergency lights on each floor throughout the building including all Exit signs.
Activating all stairwell lighting.
Activating the building’s emergency Fire, Life and Safety Systems as well as the building’s
communication systems.
Bringing all elevators down to the ground floor lobby. (One elevator will remain operative for use by
security to assist handicapped persons or to take service crews and equipment into the building, as
needed.)
It is seldom necessary to evacuate the building during a power failure. Unless you are directed to do so
through the emergency communication system, please remain in your offices.
Please…DO NOT CALL the Office of the Building unless you need to notify us of the location of a disabled
employee. Please click here to complete the Handicapped Personnel List. You will be notified once all
information has been received.
