Complete this table only for EAP in-building relocation areas (IBRA). Provide a floor by floor listing of the required pre-designated IBRA. List all floors, including those that are below grade. Those floors having no occupants, such as MER floors, and floors that are not part of the EAP, such as residentially occupied floors, shall be noted in the table for that floor number. Information provided in this table will be cross-referenced with building occupant information provided in Appendix A-2, Table 6. Every floor having building occupants listed on Appendix A-2, Table 6 must have a pre-designated IBRA indicated in this table that has a sufficient occupant capacity to accommodate the number of building occupants assigned to such IBRA. If building occupants are to be assigned to an IBRA on a floor other than their normal work floor, the route to that IBRA must be designated in the location portion of the table (e.g. 3rd floor occupants will use the IBRA on the 2nd floor, accessed via stairwell B). Stairwells, including enclosed, open and access stairwells, are not acceptable as an IBRA.

Complete this table only for FSP in-building relocation areas (IBRA). Provide a floor by floor listing of the pre- designated IBRA corresponding to Appendix A-2, Table 8B information. An IBRA must have an occupant capacity sufficient to accommodate the number of building occupants assigned to such IBRA.

Information provided in this table will be cross-referenced with building occupant information provided in Appendix A-2, Table 6. For each occupied, floor there must be a primary and an alternate route to an in-building relocation area. The alternate route must utilize a different stairwell than the primary route. An alternate IBRA need not be provided. Any IBRA identified on this table must also be identified in Appendix A-2, Table 8A.
