State-Specific Emergency Exit Plans

As with a lot of signage, there are specific rules and regulations for emergency exit signs. This is particularly the case in New York City and the entire state of California. Whether it’s where they’re hung or what they say, there are particular ways to use these signs to keep tenants safe.

Municipalities like San Francisco and other large cities also may have their own requirements on top of these, so check with local code enforcers to see what all you need. NYC has similar rules, but where they differ is where the signs hang and what they say. NYC elevator evacuation plans have to say “IN FIRE EMERGENCY, DO NOT USE ELEVATOR, USE THE EXIT STAIRS,” Place them over the elevator call button and about 72” above the floor, that way they’re perfectly in sight.

Do Dorm Rooms Need Evacuation Maps?

In terms of fire safety signage, dorms are treated the same way as hotel rooms. This means that they need the same relevant emergency signage, including evacuation maps. These should inform tenants of exactly where they are in relation to everyone else and how to get to safety. Of course, evacuation plans should always be updated whenever a new wing or section is added to a dormitory.
