PLANNING FOR EMERGENCIES
To protect yourself and others on the premises, create a map of the premises. Develop a
plan for various emergencies, and practice your emergency plans. Figure 8 is an example
of a floor plan. Draw a floor plan of your premises in Figure 9. Include the location of all
system components. Be sure to show exits from each room (two exits per room are recom-
mended).
Periodically discuss emergency procedures that include the following points:
Understanding how to use the security system.
Knowing the normal state of the doors and windows of the premises, either open,
closed or locked.
Using alternate escape routes if closed doors feel hot to the touch.
Crawling and holding breath.
Escaping fast! (Do not stop to pack.)
Meeting at a designated outdoor location.
Conducting periodic rehearsals.
Emphasizing that no one should return to the premises if there is a fire.
Emphasizing that no one should enter the premises if they hear siren sounds.
CAUTION: If you arrive at the premises and hear sirens, DO NOT
ENTER the premises. Call for emergency assistance from a
neighbor’s phone.
