When severe weather conditions become apparent, the U.S. Weather Bureau describes conditions by two (2) classifications, a Watch or a Warning. This applies to the reporting of severe thunderstorms, the approach of weather conditions favoring the formation of tornadoes, a hurricane condition, a winter storm condition, etc. A Watch becomes effective when atmospheric conditions are present that can produce the particular weather phenomenon. A Warning means that the weather condition has been spotted and prompt action must be taken to enhance safety.

Except in very rare circumstances, the decision to evacuate the building based on the above weather reports is made by the BMO. However, in the event these conditions do exist, Tenants should adhere to the following guidelines:

• Move away from outside windows. Close all blinds to provide protection from broken glass.
• If evacuated, lock all desk drawers and take all items of value with you.
• If evacuated, exit through the building interior and avoid large expanses of glass and windows.
• Use the stairwells rather than the elevators.
• If evacuated, do not return to your office until advised to do so.
