  2. Stay with the individual and try to convince them until they agree to evacuate, delaying your other duties.
  3. Physically escort the individual out, as their refusal poses a risk to others.
  4. Clearly explain the urgency and importance of evacuation, and if they still refuse, report their location and description to emergency responders and incident command.
