5. Elevators Elevator lobbies are separated from the corridors with a fire/smoke barrier. Note: The public elevator lobby on level 2 is not separated/protected. If there is an event in an elevator lobby, the elevators enter “fire recall” and cannot be used. The Staff elevators are in a separate smoke compartment from the public ones. The central staff elevator is specifically designed for fire fighter use during emergencies. Only Galveston Fire Department (GFD) or other authorized emergency responders should operate the elevators during a fire emergency. Click to Continue

9. Defend-in-Place The overall concept for healthcare is that patients will stay in a protected healthcare environment as long as possible and remain safe. Areas not directly affected by an incident will defend-in- place and begin preparations to evacuate/receive evacuees: 1.Clear the corridors of items and equipment 2.Close patient room doors 3.Instruct visitors/family members to wait in waiting room or the patient room for further instructions until alarm is over. 4.Scan your environment for hazards (i.e. fire/smoke) 5.Report to your immediate supervisor Click to Continue

10. Compartment of Fire Origin If the incident is within your area, you will be evacuating to the compartment to the north/south of you. Each wing (A, B, C, D) is a smoke compartment.

11. Won Door (Accordion Fire Door) Operation Won Doors are like cross-corridor doors and will close when activated by the fire alarm. Won doors are located in the Clinical Service Wing and Jennie Sealy Hospital on multiple floors. The doors have a bump-stop safety that will stop the door when it contacts an object (see video).

15. Vertical Evacuation For larger incidents, vertical evacuation may be necessary. Primary evacuation point will generally be to level 4 (depending on the Incident Command’s directions). GFD will help use the elevators, if they are accessible CSW, John Sealy Hospital, John Sealy Annex, or Trauma Center, may be ultimate destinations. Secondary evacuation point will be to Level 2, and then on to another building as appropriate. If elevators are not available, vertical evacuation will be down the stairs to the next patient floor. Patient floors are only on 2, 4, 8, 9, 10 and 11. Click to Continue
