If a senior citizen gets missing, the guards will be the first one who will track and find the person. If they are still missing then the guards will dial up the police and ambulance for emergency services.
• Evacuation process: There can be instances of fire outbreaks due to faulty wiring, fuse problems, system issues etc. The security guards will regularly check if there is any anomaly from which fire can start. If they find anything unusual then they will report it to the appropriate authority. Also, in case fire actually breaks out, they will help in evacuating the residents out of the building.
