If any member of your party iinfirm or disabled, help them out of the building or assign memberof your party to make sure that they are taken out of the building.
If there are children in your party, check that they are all present. Then check again. When you have them all, hold their handand chaperone them out of the building. Children get scared and hide away under bedand in closets.
