It makes sense to shut down the sound system.  An evax system we installed in a church was rigged to override the sanctuary audio
system though it didn't kill power to the sound booth.  It cut out the amps.

You do this to make certain the audible alarms are heard.  But shutting down the building mains?  I don't think so.
