Choosing Emergency Evacuation Signage for Your Facility

The right emergency evacuation signage depends on both the building and where the information will be posted. A map intended for a resident room may need different location-specific information than one posted in a main corridor, common area, elevator lobby, or stairway.

Start by identifying the areas where evacuation information needs to be displayed, then determine whether each location calls for a custom map, a stairway or elevator plan, or a holder for an existing printed plan. In larger or multistory facilities, you may need multiple map versions so each posted plan accurately reflects the viewer's location and applicable evacuation route.

If your evacuation information changes periodically, a wall-mounted map holder can also make it easier to replace the printed insert without replacing the complete display.

What Do I Need to Order Custom Evacuation Maps?

For custom evacuation maps and plans, have your current building information ready before ordering. HealthcareSigns.com can work from blueprints, floor plans, or a copy of an existing evacuation plan to develop the artwork for your facility.

After choosing the appropriate product and placing your order, submit the applicable building information for the locations being mapped. You'll receive a proof to review so you can check routes, labels, emergency information, and other details before approving the plan for production.

For facilities with multiple floors, wings, or distinct evacuation routes, provide enough information to identify which plan belongs at each posting location. This helps ensure the finished maps communicate the correct route from the viewer's position rather than relying on one generic plan throughout the building.

Emergency Evacuation Signage Requirements

Emergency evacuation signage requirements can vary based on the type of facility, building configuration, jurisdiction, and location where the sign or plan will be installed. Before ordering, confirm the evacuation information, posting locations, and any state or local requirements that apply to your property.

It's also important to select signage for its intended purpose. Building evacuation maps communicate routes and floor-specific emergency information, while elevator and stairway plans address those particular areas of the building. If your emergency plan includes designated refuge or rescue assistance locations, separate area-of-refuge or life-safety signage may also be required.

Review your facility's plans and applicable evacuation signage requirements before finalizing an order, especially when different floors or areas require different evacuation instructions.
