Executive Summary
The Federal Management Regulations mandate that every federal facility shall create 1) an Occupant Emergency Plan that provides procedures to protect life and property in emergency situations, and 2) an occupant emergency organization to perform tasks outlined in the Occupant Emergency Plan. Shelter-In-Place (SIP) is an event in which building occupants do not evacuate the facility but are moved to areas that provide maximum protection from an external threat.
