Staff need clearer roles
Wardens, supervisors, campus staff, residential teams, public-facing staff, maintenance workers, tenant contacts, managers, and employees may need stronger expectations before a drill.
Occupants vary by day or time
Students, residents, patients, visitors, tenants, public users, contractors, office workers, and after-hours occupants can change how evacuation procedures work.

Fredericton Drill Context
Fire drills for local buildings where the same procedure may need to work for staff, students, residents, patients, tenants, and public users
Fredericton drills often need to test more than employee movement. They may need to show whether the team can guide people who are unfamiliar with the building while still managing records and follow-up.
- Government and public buildings may need drills that check visitor direction, public-area communication, service counters, security-controlled areas, and re-entry control.
- University and residential properties may need drills that check resident or student notices, floor roles, after-hours expectations, assembly points, and accessibility concerns.
- Healthcare and office properties benefit when drill records connect evacuation procedures with occupant assistance, tenant handoffs, visitor management, and annual review.
