Slidable barrier arrangements for a structure having a plurality of stories are described. A first retainer element can be operatively connected to the structure. The retainer element can span a plurality of stories of the structure. The retainer element can include a plurality of retainer segments, including an uppermost retainer segment and one or more lower retainer segments. The one or more lower retainer segments can include a lowermost retainer segment. A barrier and the first retainer element can be brought together such that a portion of the barrier is retainably engaged by the lower retainer segments of the first retainer element. The length of the barrier can substantially correspond to the length of the lower retainer segments. Thus, the uppermost retainer segment can extend vertically above an upper edge side of the barrier. The barrier can be selectively moved, such as by sliding, within the first retainer element.

The method of claim 1, wherein moving the barrier upwardly within the first retainer element includes: attaching one or more elements to a portion of the barrier; andpulling the barrier upwardly using the one or more elements. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of retainer segments are arranged in an abutting manner. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of retainer segments are spaced from each other. 7. A system comprising: a structure having a plurality of stories;a first retainer element operatively connected to the structure, the first retainer element spanning a plurality of stories of the structure and extending in a substantially vertical direction, the first retainer element including a plurality of retainer segments, the plurality of retainer segments including an uppermost retainer segment and one or more lower retainer segments, the one or more lower retainer segments including a lowermost retainer segment, the plurality of retainer segments being hollow and including three channels extending along a entire length of the retainer segment, the three channels opening to a outer periphery of the retainer segment, two of the three channels being opposite to each other, one of the three channels being arranged at substantially 90 degrees relative to the two of the three channels that are opposite to each other, the plurality of retainer segments being arranged such that the three channels of the plurality of retainer segments are substantially aligned with each other;a second retainer element operatively connected to the structure, wherein the second retainer element spans a plurality of stories of the structure and extending in a substantially vertical direction, wherein the second retainer element includes a plurality of retainer segments, wherein the plurality of retainer segments includes an uppermost retainer segment and one or more lower retainer segments, wherein the one or more lower retainer segments includes a lowermost retainer segment, the plurality of retainer segments being hollow and including a plurality of channels extending along a entire length of the retainer segment, the plurality of channels opening to a outer periphery of the retainer segment, the plurality of channels including two channels that are opposite to each other; anda barrier, the barrier having an associated length, the length of the barrier substantially corresponding to a plurality of stories (n) of the structure but less than all of the plurality of stories of the structure, a portion of the barrier being retainably engaged within one of the channels of the one or more lower retainer segments of the first retainer element, an opposite portion of the barrier being retainably engaged within one of the channels of the one or more lower retainer segments of the second retainer element, the length of the barrier substantially corresponding to a length of the lower retainer segments, the uppermost retainer segment of the first retainer element extending above an upper edge side of the barrier in the substantially vertical direction, the uppermost retainer segment of the second retainer element extending above the upper edge side of the barrier in the substantially vertical direction. 8.
