Franklin Tower has an emergency generator, which will provide emergency power for certain basic building functions in the event of power failure. These functions include:
- Activation of emergency lights on each floor throughout the building including all Exit signs.
- Activation of all stairwell lighting.
- Activation of the building’s emergency Fire, Life and Safety Systems as well as the building’s communication systems.
- Recall of all elevators down to the ground floor lobby. (One elevator will remain in operation for use by responding authorities.)
It is seldom necessary to evacuate the building during a power failure. Unless you are directed to do so through the emergency communication system, please remain in your offices.
