  • Leave immediately, seeking the nearest designated exit
  • Use stairways (south and north side of LKS), do NOT use elevators
  • *People who cannot evacuate using the stairs for mobility reasons will:
    Report to the nearest emergency exit stairwell and remain there or
    Alert the Floor Warden or contact Protective Services (780-492-5050)
    *In LKS the stairwells on both sides of the building are fire-rated and safe places to wait for assistance.
  • Leave and move away from the building
  • Meet at the Muster Point; Parking Lot C, south side of the LKS building (facing the hospital)
  • Notify floor wardens or emergency responders if you suspect that someone is still inside
