Like signs dealing with fire safety, evacuation signs are a vital and necessary part of hospital signage. People are generally trying to get into healthcare facilities, not out of them, but emergency evacuation signs are a big part of the hospitals responsibility to their patients and their staff. There are several different types of emergency evacuation signs, and all of them have a unique and important role in keeping your patients and visitors safe and sound, as well as informed about what they should do in case of emergency. Being prepared is the biggest advantage of anyone caught in an emergency situation, and these signs go a long way toward making sure that they are. There are a lot of different signs that fall into this category, but there are three main categories that are extremely important.

Fire Evacuation Signs. Signs like this let hospital patrons know what to do in case of a fire. For instance, signs that warn visitors to stay away from elevators and to always use the stairs. Or signs that let viewers know precisely where the emergency exits are, or the fire escapes and routes to the outside. Fire is one of the main areas of concern when it comes to public safety, and these signs are very important to the mission of the healthcare facility. There's never a reason to have inadequate fire evacuation signs in your building, and with HSI, you'll have the best signs money can buy.

Emergency evacuation signs. Generally, these signs relate to emergency exits, and have a lot in common with fire signs. They point out the best route to leave the healthcare facility, and they point out doors that lead directly to the outside, or to safe staircases that viewers can use to escape a dangerous situation.

Evacuation Plans. These are the most detailed, the most helpful, and the most expressive emergency evacuation signs. They show, in schematic detail, the layout of the entire building. They name each section and provide a clear marker to show viewers where they are in the map. And, most importantly, they draw a clear line toward the best emergency exit, depending on where the viewer and sign are located. These signs are really invaluable in an emergency situation, because they give the viewer, at a glance, a huge amount of information, all of which is very helpful. It tells them where they are, where they need to go, and the best and fastest way to get there. You can't ask for anything more when it comes to emergency evacuation signs than the evacuation plans. Unlike simple fire evacuation signs, these are able to completely orient and direct any viewer at any point in the healthcare facility.
