EMERGENCY EVACUATION PLANS
An emergency evacuation plan should be established for an actual fire alarm condition. For
example, the following steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association and
can be used as a guide in establishing an evacuation plan for your building.
Draw up a floor plan of your home. Show windows, doors, stairs, and rooftops that can be used
for escape. Indicate each occupant's escape routes. Always keep these routes free from
obstruction.
Determine two means of escape from each room. One will be the normal exit from the
building. The other may be a window that opens easily. An escape ladder may have to be
located near the window if there is a long drop to the ground below. Set a meeting place
outdoors for a headcount of the building occupants.
Practice escape procedures. In a home, sleep with bedroom door closed; this will increase your
escape time. If you suspect fire, test the door for heat. If you think it is safe, brace your shoulder
against the door and open it cautiously. Be ready to slam the door if smoke or heat rush in.
Practice escaping to the outdoors and meeting in an assigned spot. Call the Fire Department
from a neighbor's phone.
NOTE: After the installation of your Security System has been completed, notify your local Fire
and Police Departments to give them your name and address for their records.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in
all rooms.
This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection
Association's Standard 72. For additional information write the National Fire Protection
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
The following are examples of evacuation plans. A plan unique to your home or business
should be drawn and memorized by each occupant.
