POWER OUTAGE

In the event of a power outage, emergency lighting should activate automatically. Emergency lighting should be functional until power is restored. Follow these steps to ensure safety and security of the facility and employees:

1. Ensure all computers are properly shut down. Most computers are equipped with battery back-up which will allow for the proper shutting down of each unit during the outage. If the computer does not have a battery back-up, switch the unit off.
2. Contact the local power company to obtain outage information.
3. Locate flashlights if needed to navigate through the building.
4. Notify the Safety and Security team and/or property management.
