What should a Fire Guard do if an unauthorized person enters the shelter?

When an unauthorized person enters a shelter, the appropriate action is to assess the situation and report it to security or the authorities. This response ensures that the safety and security of everyone in the shelter are prioritized. By assessing the situation, the Fire Guard can determine whether the unauthorized individual poses a risk or if they may have a legitimate reason for being there.

Engaging with security or authorities allows for a proper investigation into the person's presence, which is crucial for maintaining order and safety within the shelter. This process also helps to utilize trained professionals who are equipped to handle such situations effectively, thereby minimizing the potential for conflict or escalation.

Confronting the individual directly could lead to an unsafe situation, while ignoring the presence of an unauthorized person does not acknowledge the potential risk to those inside the shelter. Lowering the shelter’s security level undermines the protective measures in place and could invite further unauthorized access. Therefore, reporting to the appropriate parties is the best course of action.
