An effective emergency response plan should include: - Evacuation Routes: Clearly marked and unobstructed evacuation routes and exits. - Alarm Systems: Functioning fire alarms and communication systems to alert personnel of a fire. - Fire Extinguishers: Accessible and well-maintained fire extinguishers suitable for the types of fires that may occur. - Assembly Points: Designated safe assembly points where personnel can gather during an evacuation. - Contact Information: Emergency contact numbers for fire departments and emergency services.
