I think leaving this firm would not be able to occur fast enough. In my firm, the lawyers stayed and made sure the staff had a means to get someplace safely, mostly home, for that night. Before that two of us had gone out to get lunch for everyone, and we did try to keep people there until we knew a means of transport for them to get home, or to someone else's home at which they would be welcome, was assured.
