What is the requirement regarding building occupants and emergency drills in homeless shelters?

Building occupants are required to participate in all emergency drills to ensure everyone's safety and preparedness in the event of an emergency. This includes not just the staff but also the residents of the shelter. Engaging all individuals in emergency drills helps cultivate an understanding of evacuation procedures, locations of exits, and proper responses to various types of emergencies, such as fires.

Having everyone participate reinforces the importance of collective action during an emergency, improving overall safety and reducing panic when a real situation arises. It is crucial for shelters, which house vulnerable populations, to ensure that all occupants are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to respond effectively in case of an emergency. This comprehensive participation minimizes risks and enhances the shelter's readiness for unexpected situations.
