During a non-fire drill, occupants should be instructed that in the event of an emergency call, 911 and the FLS Director must be notified.

• A. 911 and the FLS Director must be notified.
• B. 911 only.
• C. FLS Director only.
• D. No action required.

Answer: (A)

In emergencies, you want both quick medical help and strong on-site coordination. Notifying 911 ensures professional responders arrive as fast as possible, while informing the FLS Director brings the internal safety leadership into the loop to manage the building’s response, account for occupants, unlock resources, and communicate with other staff. This dual notification helps speed rescue efforts and keeps the incident well coordinated from the moment it starts. If you only call 911, internal coordination may be delayed, and critical building-administration actions might not be initiated promptly. If you only notify the FLS Director, you may get internal support, but there would be no immediate EMS response. No action is clearly unsafe in an emergency, so neither of those single-notification options is appropriate.
