Drill Needs
When Cabbagetown teams need fire drill support
Drill support is useful when a team needs clearer roles, better communication, and a more useful record of what happened.
Mixed-use buildings
Drills may need to account for residents, tenants, storefront staff, public areas, contractors, and shared access.
Unclear assigned roles
Supervisors, wardens, tenant contacts, front-line staff, property contacts, and facility teams may need better preparation.
Smaller teams
A small staff group may need especially clear procedures so responsibility does not depend on one person.
