Emergency Evacuation
A fire alarm creates chaos fast, and every missing minute matters. FlexManager's Emergency Evacuations module scans NFC tags at muster points for an instant headcount, puts a designated fire warden group in control at each site, and shares evacuation data with your desktop for real-time, off-site oversight.
Site-Specific Evacuation Plans, Backed by Real-Time Data
Emergency Evacuations sits within FlexManager’s Plant & Locations solutions, connected to Time & Attendance, Location Management and Employee Profile. It draws on who’s checked in and where sites are laid out, so a designated fire warden group and off-site oversight teams get a real-time, NFC-verified account of everyone’s safety during an evacuation.
Built for Those Responsible for Getting Everyone Out Safely
The module supports Health & Safety and HSEQ Managers who own evacuation plans and fire warden groups, Facilities Managers responsible for muster points and each site’s physical layout, and Plant Managers who need real-time, off-site oversight when an evacuation is under way.
NFC-Enabled Headcounts
Verify employee and visitor safety during an evacuation by scanning at muster points with NFC technology, so headcounts are fast and accurate rather than relying on a manual paper list.
Mobile-to-Desktop Evacuation Oversight
Capture evacuation data on site and send it straight to your desktop system, giving off-site personnel real-time oversight of an evacuation as it unfolds.
Designated Fire Warden Groups
Create a designated, qualified group of fire wardens to manage each location in your operation, so there's a clear chain of responsibility the moment an evacuation becomes necessary.
Site-Specific Evacuation Plans
Tailor evacuation plans to each site's physical layout, prioritising personnel safety in a way that reflects how that specific location is actually built and used.
Post-Evacuation Follow-Up Tasks
Assign follow-up tasks once an evacuation is over, so corrective actions get closed out and any lessons from the incident are captured rather than lost.
Real-Time Personnel Tracking
Track the location of personnel during an evacuation, helping confirm that everyone is accounted for and safe before the incident is stood down.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does FlexManager's Emergency Evacuations module do?
It gives a site speed, accuracy and control when running an evacuation, using NFC-enabled headcounts at muster points, a designated fire warden group, and follow-up tasks to report on the incident afterwards. Evacuation data is sent to your desktop system too, so off-site personnel have real-time oversight of an evacuation as it’s happening, not just a summary afterwards.
How does NFC technology help during an evacuation?
Employees and visitors scan at muster points using NFC technology, which verifies their safety far faster and more accurately than a manual paper headcount. Because the scan happens at the point of arrival, whoever’s running the evacuation gets a live, verified picture of who has reached safety rather than waiting on a roll being called out and checked by hand.
Can off-site staff see how an evacuation is progressing?
Yes. The module’s mobile-to-desktop integration captures evacuation data on site and sends it to your desktop system, giving off-site personnel real-time oversight of the evacuation as it unfolds. That means someone managing safety from head office, or from another site, isn’t left waiting for a phone call to know how things stand.
Who is responsible for managing an evacuation on site?
A designated, qualified group of fire wardens manages each location in your operation should an evacuation become necessary. Setting this group up in advance, rather than deciding on the day who’s in charge, gives a site a clear chain of responsibility the moment an alarm sounds.
Are evacuation plans the same for every site?
No. Emergency Evacuations lets you tailor evacuation plans to each site’s own physical layout, so the plan prioritises personnel safety in a way that actually reflects how that location is built and used, rather than applying one generic plan across sites with very different layouts.
What happens once an evacuation is over?
Follow-up tasks are generated and assigned so the incident can be closed out properly. This includes implementing any corrective actions identified and capturing learnings for the future, so an evacuation results in a documented response rather than just a return to normal operations once everyone is confirmed safe.
Does the module track where personnel are during an evacuation?
Yes. Emergency Evacuations tracks the location of personnel during an evacuation, helping to confirm that everyone is accounted for and safe. That real-time tracking is what feeds the NFC-verified headcount and the off-site oversight view, rather than those being separate, disconnected pictures of the same event.
