       The Royalton Emergency Procedures

 IF YOU DISCOVER A FIRE
  • REMEMBER to take your keys and fobs with you.
  • PHONE 9-1-1 to report a fire at your address:  850 Royal Ave, New Westminster
  • FIGHT the fire ONLY if it is SMALL and you are NOT alone.
  • EVACUATE via one of the two stairwells that are accessible from each floor.  These are separate and distinct fire-protected structures
  • DO NOT USE ELEVATORS - They automatically return to the lobby and remain open at the disposal of the fire department.
  • DO NOT use a stairwell if it is FILLED WITH SMOKE or overcrowded.  Use the other stairwell if it is safe.  If you encounter problems on your way down, use one of the unlocked "cross-over" floors (21, 18, 14, 9, 5) to access the other stairwell.
  • ASSIST persons requiring assistance. *
  • PROCEED to the front east courtyard, adjacent to the Fitness Room (outside) & identify yourself to the Block Watch Coordinator or a Council member.
  • STAND well back from the building and the arriving fire department personnel and equipment.
  • DO NOT go back into the building until the fire department advises you when to re-enter.
  • THE GARAGE DOOR remains open during a fire alarm for access by the fire department.

WHEN THERE IS AN EARTHQUAKE

  • DO NOT STAND IN A DOORWAY, because you could be exposed to flying debris.
  • DO NOT STAND UNDER light fixtures, near bookshelves, filing cabinets, or windows, where a person could be vulnerable to falling or flying debris.
  • DO NOT LEAVE safe cover until the shaking has stopped.  Keep calm!
  • AFTER a major earthquake, evacuate the building as in a fire emergency.
  • BE AWARE of potential aftershocks or tremors.

*Persons with health concerns or mobility impairment should discuss this with the neighbors on their floor and with their Block Watch captains.
