How often must an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) be reviewed and updated according to NYC regulations?
Answer: Annually
NYC requires annual review and update of Emergency Action Plans to ensure they reflect current building conditions and occupancy.
Which of the following must be included in a building's Emergency Action Plan?
Answer: Procedures for reporting emergencies and evacuation routes
An EAP must include emergency reporting procedures, evacuation routes, and roles and responsibilities of fire safety personnel.
What is the first action an FLSD should take upon receiving a fire alarm signal?
Answer: Investigate or confirm the alarm location and nature of the emergency
The FLSD must first investigate or confirm the alarm to determine the appropriate response level before initiating evacuation procedures.
In a non-fire emergency such as a power outage, what is the FLSD's primary concern?
Answer: Ensuring emergency lighting and egress paths remain functional
During a power outage, the FLSD must verify that emergency lighting, exit signs, and fire protection systems on emergency power are functioning properly.
What is the purpose of a Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan (FSEP) as distinct from an EAP?
Answer: The FSEP specifically addresses fire emergencies and is required by the FDNY
The FSEP is a fire-specific plan required by the FDNY that details fire emergency procedures, while an EAP covers all types of emergencies.
Who is authorized to give the all-clear signal after a building emergency?
Answer: The Fire Department Incident Commander or FLSD after FDNY authorization
Only the FDNY Incident Commander can authorize the all-clear, which the FLSD then communicates to building occupants.
