evacuation drills
Practiced building exits
Evacuation drills are practice exercises for clearing a building or area during emergencies.
Schools, workplaces, and public buildings conduct them regularly so occupants know exit routes and procedures: The fire alarm went off for an evacuation drill.
Also called fire drills when focused on that scenario, though evacuations may prepare for earthquakes, active shooters, or other threats.
