What is an important role of the FLS Warden during a non-fire emergency?

The role of the FLS Warden during a non-fire emergency is essential for maintaining safety and ensuring a structured response. One key responsibility is to ensure the evacuation is orderly. This involves directing occupants to exit the building safely and efficiently, helping to prevent panic and confusion during an emergency situation.

An orderly evacuation is crucial because it minimizes the risk of injuries, as people are guided through designated routes and away from potential hazards. The FLS Warden is trained to assess the situation, provide clear instructions to individuals, and assist those who may need help in evacuating, such as individuals with disabilities or those who may be anxious or disoriented.

This role goes beyond leading drills, which is important but not the primary function during an actual emergency. Communicating with emergency personnel is part of their duties, but the focus during an emergency is on managing the immediate safety of building occupants rather than solely on communication. Managing building maintenance is not relevant during a non-fire emergency, as the priority shifts entirely to the safety and evacuation of individuals in the affected environment.
