Identify a common gathering space in the event of an emergency
Rationale: Identifying and publicizing an emergency gathering location that meets occupant needs, provides physical shelter, and offers a place to distribute clear messaging in the wake of an emergency can reduce the risk of injuries and the spread of infectious disease, while maintaining a sense of dignity, community, and security for those affected.
For the most accurate strategy and documentation requirements, please refer to the digital scorecard made available on the Fitwel Platform.
