An emergency entry and exit apparatus for evacuating people from a building, includes a set of four gears, mounting assemblies, a first chain and a second chain, multiple cabins, a shaft member. The cabins are positioned in series along the length of the first chain and the second chain, and a roof section of each cabin is attached to upper surfaces of the first chain and the second chain via a shaft member, where the first chain and the second chain are driven based on the difference in loading due to the weight of the people entering the cabins on opposing sides of the building which causes the cabins to be displaced along the outer contour of the building during the evacuation process, therefore allowing people to be transferred from one of the floors to another floor via the cabins moving in downward direction.
