Using non evac lift for evac??

In purpose built  blocks of flats is there any need to provide any refuges or evacuation lifts as there should be no need for full evacuation?

Using non evac lift for evac??

I am in the West Indies at the moment. Ten days ago there was a fire involving ac plant on the roof of a 3 storey hospital. Management and fire service evacuated 100 persons from all floors.  The power was turned off by management/fire service and people were stuck in the lifts. Too many things went wrong to explain here but I am exploring the possibility of a training/risk assessment/advice opportunity..
