As a Building Marshal, you will report to the designated evacuation zone for your building and wait for an All Clear notification. As Building Marshals, you may be re-assign to cover all entry points to your building from a safe location to ensure no one attempts to re-enter the building until determined safe to do so.
The Building Marshals will proceed to conduct a head count in the designated evacuation zone. The Building Marshals will then relay this information and any other concerns (i.e. occupants tapped) to Emergency Responders.
