STAGE 2
Developing the Building Earthquake
Evacuation Plan (BEEP)
The B.E.E.P. should have provision to utilize all available
open spaces nearest the building that are evaluated as
safe from falling debris and other materials that may
cause injuries to employees.
Determine if there is sufficient open space for all. Areas
to be occupied should be computed assuming 4 to 5
persons would occupy a 1 sq.m. area.

Actual Conduct of Earthquake Drill
1. Prior to the scheduled drill, inform the
neighborhood regarding the conduct of
the drill.
2. Identify and assign observers for each exit
points of the building and evacuation
areas. They will give their comments and
observations during the evaluation of the
drill.
Phase 2. Response
While the siren/ bell is ongoing,
everyone should seek shelter and
protect themselves. In this phase,
everyone should perform duck, cover
and hold under desks, tables or chairs
and remain in such position until the
shaking stops.
Phase 3. Evacuation
Once the shaking stops, all
occupants/ employees should evacuate
the building and proceed to identified
evacuation area/s using predetermined
routes.

employees must be grouped according
