Evacuation planning is regulated by 527CMR § 10:13 Emergency Planning and Preparedness.  The administration of every facility shall have in effect and available to all supervisory personnel written copies of a plan for the protection of all persons in the event of fire and for their evacuation to areas of refuge and from the building when necessary.

The Fire Department assists in the development of emergency evacuation planning for all high-rise, schools, hospitals, medical facilities, and city owned buildings. For more information on evacuation planning, please call the fire prevention office at (617) 349-4965.
