factory emergency evacuation plan
We all know what it means, but what is the right term in English?
I've just told them to "Abandon the work area in a calm and orderly manner" - "Do not run".
Now, "non creare allarmismi" ...
Do you think I can put "Do not panic"?

Do not engage in alarmist behaviour
I don't think "do not panic" would be right here, since what the original is asking is to not generate alarmism and to not trigger panic in other workers.
I realize my translation may sound a tad formal, but that's definitely the meaning of the phrase and I think the formal tone is still appropriate.

Don't hit the panic button
another, perhaps more colloquial, way:

But "Don't panic" is also fine

Keep calm.
The standard expression, which I'm sure you've all seen on posters, T-shirts, etc.

Do not cause alarm
the longer, more formal version would be /do not create cause for alarm (in others)/ but I think this is enough, to the point and is what the Italian says
