EGRESS

egress:

- the act of coming or going out; emergence

- the right to leave or go out; e.g., denied the refugees egress


- a path or opening for going out; an exit

- (verb) to go out; emerge; to go forth; to issue

Example: “Right now, the biggest reason for the closing of Baymont is the means of egress; the stairwell is not able to be used as a means of egress at this time, and that means you cannot occupy the building. Monday we plan on doing a further inspection to check out the electricity and see how it was handled through the lightning strike and the fire.” [Reference: Baymont closed at least until Monday, http://www.pulaskicountydaily.com/news.php?viewStory=2909].
